Better Homes and Fallout Shelters

>

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
