Agriculture was the backbone of the southern economy. This collection draws materials from across the library's holdings to examine the role of agriculture, particularly in Eastern North Carolina. Tobacco, cotton, animal husbandry, farm equipment, agricultural organizations like 4-h, and the business side of agriculture are all explored in this collection.
