Coverage
The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant
In early 2020, a huge donation of books about World War II was made to Flagler College. Due to the size of the donation, it will take time to merge this donation into Special Collections. Most of the collection is about the war in Europe, but all fronts and aspects of the war are covered.<br />Other items in the collection related to WWII have been donated or removed from the circulating collection and cover all aspects of the war, though primarily about the European or Pacific Theatres.<br />Although the bulk of the books on this subject are in English, not all books were written from the U.S or British perspective; a goodly number of books have been translated from their original langagues. All non-book items are U.S.-centric.<br />Primary sources originate from the following countries (in no particular order): United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Japan, Sweden, Hungary, and Poland.
