http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/ua102_010

These records detail the programs and activities of the 4-H Youth Development program in North Carolina from 1912 to 1998. The files contain correspondence and memoranda, programs and brochures, reports, member lists, financial information, clippings, news releases, photographs, and writings and speeches. The records have been arranged to provide easily accessible information relating to 4-H camps, county club organizations, the 4-H Honor Club, and the state and national 4-H meetings. In 1909, North Carolina State College signed a memorandum of agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture to cooperatively develop Farmers' Boys' Clubs, or Corn Clubs. The first such club was formed in 1909, and the first for girls in 1911. In 1926, these now-extensive clubs were merged under a single banner, to become the state 4-H program. By the 1950s, North Carolina 4-H was one of the largest such programs in the nation.
