The records of the Office of the Associate Dean and Director of the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service contain reports, correspondence, programs, publications, speeches, minutes, financial information, and committees relating to agricultural research and experiment stations. Also included are materials on the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Fiftieth Anniversary of the research stations, the Tennessee Valley Authority, agricultural products, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, individual college departments and their role in experiment station research, and the National Pickle Packers Association. Records include a letter book of the director. Materials range in date from 1878 to 2003. The North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station was created in 1877, and transferred from the State of North Carolina to the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (later, North Carolina State University) in 1889. The Station was jointly run by the two groups, and became a source of contention between the State Department of Agriculture and the University through the early part of the twentieth century. In 1979, the Agricultural Experiment Station was renamed the Agricultural Research Service.
