The National Archives has considerable material on Camp Evans.
The Modern Military Records Branch is located at:
8601 Adelphi Road
College Park, Md.  20740

This photo is representative of the activities at Camp Evans when the Signal Corps used the old Marconi Station site as a communications research facility from 1941 - 1998....  Technicians taking ideas, building prototypes, testing, improving and retesting so they would not fail in battle.  Below is the information on the back of this photo.  The information is hard to read so we will provide the details in a table for each photo.




Thanks to Professor Robert Johnson of Framingham State College who supplied Infoage many of these photos.
