On November 9, 1989, the world celebrated the fall of the Berlin Wall, dividing East and West Berlin. This November we mark the 30th anniversary of the wall’s collapse and the fall of the Iron Curtain. Explore the Clark’s collection of Cold War maps, as well as the occupied zones in Germany. The open house will also feature plans with the locations of nuclear missiles in the United States and maps of the countries behind the Iron Curtain. Join us as we mark this momentous anniversary.

Third Thursday is a monthly open house that showcases the highlights of the Clark Library’s vast collection. These fun, thematic events are open to everyone, offering the community a look at some of our favorite maps and other materials.
