Join us, as we demonstrate how to use maps to research armed conflicts and wars where the United States sent armed forces overseas for military action, starting in the 20th century. 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.
