Book Description

The Guide to U.S. Army Museums, originally published as a directory in 1968 and 1975 but then as a narrative in 1992, underscores both the institutional history and the scope of the U.S. Army Historical Property Collection. Changes in Army force structure and the closure of selected military installations affected several Army museums, making an updated version necessary. In this well-designed, well-written, and well-organized revised and expanded edition, R. Cody Phillips highlights not only the collections of rare artifacts carefully preserved in more than a hundred Army museums around the country and overseas, but also the respective museum professional development training and educational programs available to the Army and the general public.
