Better Homes and Fallout Shelters

>Bomb shelter illustration taken from the 1963 Pamphlet “You Can Protect Your Family from Fallout”

Cover of the 1963 booklet “You Can Protect Your Family from Fallout”I’ve always found information and propaganda from the early days of the Cold War rather fascinating. If you feel the same way, I’ve got some interesting reading for you — a Flickr photoset of scans of fallout shelter literature.

The set is made up of scans from:

  • A 1963 pamphlet titled You Can Protect Your Family from Fallout, which was produced by the Detroit-based Kelsey-Hayes Company, a manufacturer of fallout shelters
  • A 1961 Life magazine feature on fallout shelters
