Dataset associated with the Colorado Agriculture Bibliography NEH & USAIN Project

The Colorado Agriculture Bibliography of Primary and Secondary Material Published 1820-1945 was part of a NEH grant project with research conducted 2004-2007. The dataset includes bibliographic information (i.e. title, author, format-book, photograph archival collection, subject headings, etc.) for about 16,000 records about Colorado’s agricultural and rural past. Some items were later digitized and placed in the CSU Library digital repository (see: https://archives.mountainscholar.org/digital/collection/p17393coll63). Items with a link (URL/permlink) are available as full-text. The topics covered in this project are varied but include agriculture, education, water, mining, tourism, recreation, and more. The bibliography contains information about but not full-text for books, journals, dissertations, theses, archival collections, maps, photos, pamphlets, and more. The Web site and bibliography reflects Colorado’s contribution to the Preserving the History of United States Agriculture and Rural Life Project. This nation-wide effort aims to identify and preserve state and locally significant literature. The project involves the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Cornell University, the United States Agricultural Information Network (USAIN), the National Agricultural Library (NAL), and other land-grant universities.
