While sites associated with the cultural heritage of armed conflict are self-evident in the landscape, sites associated with arms limitation treaties are usually conspicuously absent. The Washington Arms Limitation Treaty 1922 was arguably one the most significant treaties of the first half of the twentieth century. It can be shown that some heritage items associated with this treaty are still extant. Just as the Treaty required multinational goodwill and cooperation, the preservation of some of that heritage will also require multinational collaboration.
