and that we seek everything, in every language, in order to develop
the most comprehensive collection in the world.



Archery is one of the oldest sports in mankind's history.
Used as a weapon in warfare for millennia, used as a tool for hunting wildlife and game for food,
archery as a sport dates from the earliest times in history such as England's tales of Robin Hood,



and
Switzerland's tales of William Tell.




English archers were famed for their longbows and defeated a much larger French army at
the famed battle of Agincourt, October 25, 1415. Archery is practiced world-wide
and is one of the sports on the program of the modern Olympic Games.

You can get an idea of what we plan to do by visiting another museum online at:
European Archery Equipment
at the University of Missouri-Columbia Museum of Anthropology.
Help us develop the archery collection with your donation.
