After a test period to ensure public safety, the USAHEC is expanding limited visitation to the Soldier Experience and Reserves Galleries beginning Tuesday July 21st. Our new visitation hours will be Monday thru Friday, 10:00am-5:00pm, with safety guidelines in place. Our Research Room and other indoor exhibit areas remain closed to the public. For further detail on safety procedures, please check the USAHEC Facebook page. In addition:

• The trail and outside exhibits are open; please respect social distancing.

• We have moved our lecture series to an online streaming format. As always, extensive online resources are available on the website, ranging from historical video and podcast presentations to Educational Toolboxes and online research resources.

• USAWC faculty and students can find assistance in research at both the Root Hall and Ridgway Libraries with limited hours.

We are going through some exciting changes at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center to make our collections more available online. The USAHEC is undertaking a large-scale digitization project including many of our manuscripts, photographs, audio-visual, artifact, and other collections. There will be times that collections are not available due to the digitization process..

We also have a new search interface that will integrate the collections of the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center into one search: books, manuscripts, audio-visual materials, art, weapons, uniforms, and more! Please note that during our time of transition, the search system may not show all collections available to researchers. Please contact our Reference Desk, 717-245-3949, for assistance. We ask for your patience as we strive to meet the needs of all of our patrons.
