University Archives Photograph Collection, 4-H Youth Development photographs, 1911-1995 [graphic].
Chiefly black-and-white photographic prints and film negatives, 8 x 10 in. or smaller, providing a rich visual history of the people, activities, and events related to 4-H Youth Development Program in North Carolina from its beginnings to the early 1990s. Some photographs were taken by 4-H club members, Extension Service agents, professional and amateur photographers, newspaper photographers, and staff photographers from the North Carolina State College Visual Aids Department. Many photographers are not identified. The collection includes portraits and group portraits of county agents, specialists, club members, early agricultural clubs, National 4-H Congress delegates, Extension Director I.O. Schaub, and State 4-H Club Leader L.R. Harrill ("Mr. 4-H"). Other photographs show club activities, facilities, 4-H camps, 4-H Club Week, award presentations, war work, exhibitions at North Carolina state and county fairs, tours, and recreation. Images of 4-H projects, demonstrations, and demonstration winners depict various subjects, including livestock, poultry, swine, and other animals; crop production, gardening, and horticulture; forestry and wildlife conservation; rural electrification and tractor programs; food preparation, canning and preserving, home improvement, handicraft, sewing, 4-H Dress Revue, and other aspects of home economics; health and safety, featuring portraits of the Kings and Queens of Health; civic and cultural education, international exchange programs, spiritual development, and community service; music, theater, visual arts, communication, and personal development. Some photographs from this collection originally appeared in Extension Farm-News, and others were used to illustrate the books Memories of 4-H (Raleigh: North Carolina State University Print Shop, 1967) by L.R. Harrill and Clover All Over: North Carolina 4-H in Action (Raleigh, North Carolina State University, 1984) by James W. Clark, Jr. In May 2006, 597 slides related to 4-H activities were transferred to the collection. They are listed with similar materials, and can be found in albums 66 and 67.
