Texas A&M University has a strong military tradition, as members of the Corps of Cadets and other former students have been involved in every American armed conflict since 1876.
The Cooper K. Ragan Military History Collection at Cushing Memorial Library and Archives seeks to complement the military history of Texas A&M.
Comprised of nearly 30,000 volumes of material related to the history and technologies of battle, the collection spans American military history from the Mexican-American War through the Iraq War, but concentrates most heavily on the 20th century. It is strong in both naval and aviation history.
Items in the collection include books, diaries, logs, letters, photographs, artifacts, sheet music and war effort propaganda posters.
Cushing Memorial Library & Archives loaned items from the Ragan Military History Collection to the exhibit "Texas Aggies Go To War," which opened locally in August at the J. Wayne Stark Museum located on campus in the Memorial Student Center.
