Records, 1915-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/708269028

The collection contains a wide variety of records including annual reports, historian books, scrapbooks, conference programs, manuals, publications, and photographs and other media. These records document the Iowa 4-H program and related programs such as the Rural Young People's Program throughout the first four to five decades of the program's existence.

Topics include the Iowa State Fair and the Iowa 4-H Youth Conference.
