The Special Collections Research Center holds an extraordinary collection of early printed books dealing with the old science and art of war. Come explore striking illustrations of ancient weapons, war machines, military fortifications, and maps of famous historical battles.

This event is part of Special Collections After Hours—a new monthly open house series sharing highlights from the many books, documents, and artifacts in our collections. Each event is open to everyone and will offer a new group of themed materials for visitors to explore. Open houses are held on the second Tuesday of each month during the academic year. Light refreshments will be provided.
