Contributions to our Digital Collections

Part of my Digital Scholarship is to make historic agricultural materials freely available through the University of Florida Digital Collections, UFDC.  These materials are a few of the many items in the Food & Agriculture collection. Also in this collection are historic UF/IFAS Cooperative Extension Service publications and UF/IFAS Agricultural Experiment Stations reports. Below is a selection of the items added to UFDC as a result of my work.  Let me know if you have suggestions of other treasures to add!

These are a few of the many items in the Florida Historical Agriculture & Rural Life collection.
