Historical Note


The Department of Crop Science works on improving the production and profitability of a diverse assortment of North Carolina crops. Over time, the department has evolved from a small staff and narrow research focus into a large, comprehensive program that can respond to changing agricultural needs.

The Department of Crop Science began as the Division of Agronomy in the School of Agriculture at the beginning of the 1900s. Prior to the formation of the division, however, agronomic research and teaching had been conducted through the Agricultural Research Station and in the general course of study in agriculture at the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (later to become North Carolina State University).

In 1924, reorganization led to the Division of Agronomy becoming the Department of Agronomy, and throughout the next several decades, the department grew in staff and scope. The Great Depression caused many agricultural problems in North Carolina, but new funds allotted to the Department of Agronomy helped expand the research and teaching capabilities of the department.

In 1952, a new building, Williams Hall, was opened, designed to house the by then large department. At the beginning of 1956, Agronomy was divided into the Department of Field Crops and the Department of Soil Science. In 1962, Field Crops changed its name to the Department of Crop Science to better reflect its focus.

Although the department is still housed in Williams Hall, it also staffs a number of research stations around the state. To further expand its scope, the department also works closely with the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. In addition, the Department of Crop Science also works with a Crop Science Cooperative Extension program to reach out to farmers around the state. It has also developed curricula for the Agricultural Institute, a two-year technical training program.

Scope and Content Note


The Department of Crop Science Records include correspondence and memoranda, administrative materials, research materials, and extension materials. The collection has been divided into four primary series: Correspondence and Memoranda, Administrative, Research, and Extension. The first series, Correspondence and Memoranda, includes letters and memos to and from many of the administrative, research, and teaching leaders in the department. These items were originally grouped alphabetically by last name according to the primary sender/recipient, and this arrangement is maintained. The second series, Administrative, includes materials on the curriculum, faculty, and campus student organizations, as well as information on budgets, land, and facility allocation. This series is organized alphabetically by subseries, and materials that do not fit into the major subseries are grouped into a "General" subseries. The third series, Research, contains materials concerning a wide range of research interests. It also contains information about funding and collaborations, organizations with which Crop Science faculty and staff partnered, and projects on which they worked. The last series, Extension, includes materials related specifically to Crop Science extension activities and correspondence. It should be noted that there is significant overlap among the series, so patrons examining a specific research project, for example, will want to look in the Administrative series as well as the Correspondence and Memoranda one to be certain they locate all relevant materials. In all the series, materials were arranged in chronological order within the folders, with the most recent material first, as this was the original arrangement of the papers.
