"Maps and Images of World War II", selections from the Maps Library by Derrick Beckner, are on display in Pattee Library exhibit area from Nov. 1 through Jan. 3.

Beckner, who received his bachelor's degree in history from Penn State, is a specialist in the Maps Library. His supplemental text describes the significance of each map and explains events that transpired in specific areas.

The conflicts of World War II shown through the maps clearly illustrate the war's massive scale and human cost.

Using the tools in the library, which are available to the public, Beckner created the display's text and photo panels and graphics.

Additional items are on display in the glass cases in the entry lobby of Pattee. War posters, from the Eberly Family Special Collections Library, display imagery that became part of the nations' wartime vocabulary and created a positive-public sentiment. Photographs and other images keyed to map locations offer additional insight into the war.

This Nov. 11 will mark the fifty-sixth Veteran's Day since the war ended.
