http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/ua023_007

The North Carolina Agricultural Extension and Research Services Photograph collection includes photographs and negatives relating to areas of animal husbandry, animal science, the agriculture school, 4-H Youth Development clubs, forest resources, crop and soil science, the extension service, and farm forestry. While each program has its own distinctions, all are involved in the research and education of North Carolina individuals, families, and communities. Programs in animal husbandry was established in the 1920s and later became the Department of Animal Science. Sections within Animal Science that are part of the Cooperative Extension Service include: animal husbandry, dairy extension, swine husbandry, and horse husbandry. Photographs documenting the Agricultural School include agricultural-related courses such as entomology, agronomy, plant pathology, chemistry, as well as student and faculty activities. The College of Forest Resources and Farm Forestry photographs display forestry management and maintenance ranging from planting to logging operations within the state. Farm forestry photographs represent extension and individual farms, farm equipment, breeds of farm animals, as well as timber management. The Extension Service photograph collection highlight conference meetings, fairs, farms and homes, home demonstrations, research stations, and goodwill missions to Europe and Peru. The North Carolina Agriculture Extension and Research Photograph Collection combine photographs from Agricultual Information, the Horticulture Science Department, Poultry Extension, Agricultural Research Service, Agricultural Mission to Peru, Animal Husbandry, 4-H Youth Development, College of Forest Resources, Extension Service, and Forestry. These photographs were combined because of similar content. Photographs and negatives within this collection document the history of North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service work with animal agriculture, crops, farm and home management, forest resources, and youth development.
