Abstract
As Hunter Rouse matured, he became increasingly involved in studies of the history of fluid mechanics and hydraulics. Rouse's interest led him to produce two books on the subject, many articles, numerous lectures, and an unusual collection of rare historic books. The collection holds over 500 volumes and spans approximately 500 years. Housed at the University of Iowa, the collection remains a valuable resource for historical research. This paper describes Rouse's history research and writing, as well as the History of Hydraulics Rare Book Collection that he created.
