Event: Using Maps to Research Armed International Conflicts at NYPL
Date and Time: Tuesday October 24, 2023, 3 - 4 PM (EST)
Where: Virtual (Register Here)

Join us, as we demonstrate how to use the collection at NYPL's Map Division to research international conflicts where the United States sent armed forces overseas for military action, starting in the 20th century.  During this class, we will show you how to  utilize NYPL's catalogs to locate maps related to international conflicts, locate a place amidst changes in a location's name and boundaries due to conflicts, and utilize digital resources from NYPL and other reputable institutions.

These maps are a valuable resource that researchers can use to better understand their family's genealogy in relation to military history, to visualize military history, and to better understand how conflicts shape and change our world.
