Virtual Peace Studies Library
Since 2002, Earlham, Goshen and Manchester Colleges have been engaged in the collaborative enhancement of the three colleges' undergraduate peace studies programs as part of the Plowshares Project. The colleges were founded by three historic peace churches – Earlham by Quakers, Goshen by Mennonites and Manchester by Brethren - and each has a long standing peace studies program.
Librarians and faculty at the three colleges have created these undergraduate peace studies resources for college faculty and students, as well as for the broader peace studies community. Their collaborative effort will be sustained through this Web site and the services and collections that it reflects. We welcome feedback at Earlham, Goshen, and Manchester.
