Los Alamos Rolodex: Doing Business with the National Lab 1967–1978
In 2012, the Center for Land Use Interpretation acquired a set of seven rolodexes from the dispersed collection of former Los Alamos National Laboratory employee Ed Grothus, who operated a salvage company of lab cast-offs known as The Black Hole. The rolodexes contain many thousands of business cards kept by some unknown office in the lab over the 1960s and 1970s—the peak of the arms race and its technological development. This book presents 150 cards, in an oblong-bound book to simulate flipping through a rolodex.
2015, hardcover, paper-over-board, 4¼"x6¾",160 pages, 150 color illustrations.

Merle Porter Postcard Pack
An assortment of 10 postcards made by Merle Porter (1907-1988). Merle Porter, the "Postcard King of the West," was a one-man postcard production company producing and distributing millions of cards over a 50-year career. Nearly always about places, his cards have a distinctive style, sometimes depicting famous sites, but more often a sort of celebration of the ordinary landscape: highways, small town streets, abandoned buildings, and oil fields. Each postcard features an image of a place, as captured by Porter with his 4x5 Speed Graphic camera, with Porter's descriptive caption on the back.
Postcards will be selected by the CLUI.
