North Carolina Agricultural Research Service Assistant Director's Office Records 1949-1984

http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/ua101_005

These records contain reports, correspondence, memoranda, and minutes regarding administrative and research activities of the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service; material on the phytotron operations at North Carolina State University and Duke University; a significant amount of correspondence concerning the Mountain Horticulture Crop Research Station in Fletcher, North Carolina; and nine boxes of grant files, 1957-1968, which contain correspondence, reports, financial records, applications, and proposals, including National Science Foundation grants 1957-1967 and National Institutes of Health grants 1957-1966. The North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station was created in 1877, and transferred from the state to 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 title "Agricultural Experiment Station" was changed to "Agricultural Research Service."
