 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.

Additional information and resources on the history of the Department of Crop Science can be found through the NCSU Historical State website.

The North Carolina State University Department of Crop Science Records include correspondence and memoranda, administrative materials, research materials, materials related to its extension program, and publiations. Included is information on curricula and teaching, budgets, research projects, professional organizations related to crop science, and research topics. Materials range in date from 1938 to 2003.

 Organization of the Collection

The records of the North Carolina State University Department of Crop Science are organized into six series: Correspondence and Memoranda, Administrative, Research, Extension, Publications, and Maize Breeding and Genetics Program. Within each of the first five series, materials are arranged alphabetically by topic or title. In Series 6, Maize Breeding and Genetics Program, materials are arranged in the order received, and this series has not yet undergone full archival processing.

 Historical Note

The Maize Breeding and Genetics Program at North Carolina State University was established by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1960, and overseen by the USDA until 1983, when control of the program was turned over to NC State. The purpose of the program is to contribute to the development and release of improved maize inbred lines to show superior agronomic performance and yield potential.
