UA 102.005 Guide to the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service, Office of the Assistant Director Records, 1907-1978
These records contain historical overviews and administrative papers belonging to the Office of the Assistant Director of
the North Carolina State Cooperative Extension Service. Included in the collection are correspondence, workplans, annual statements
of objectives, and other material related to home demonstration work, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), rural development,
farm education programs, 4-H, and the North Carolina State Fair.
Although extension and demonstration work in North Carolina had been active since the early years of the twentieth century,
the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service was only officially created in 1914 as a result of the Smith-Lever Act.
In 1991 the name was changed to the current one, the Cooperative Extension Service.

ProcessingProcessed by: Michael Watts;machine-readable finding aid created by: Michael Watts Historical NoteThe Office of the Assistant Director of the North Carolina State Cooperative Extension Service historically has served in a role that strongly supports the Cooperative Extension Service Director's Office. It is not uncommon for Assistant Directors to assume leadership of the North Carolina State Cooperative Extension Service and become Cooperative Extension Service Directors. Individuals working in the capacity of Assistant Director have taken an active part in the administration and oversight of extension programs, short courses, university committees, 4-H, home demonstration, rural development, farm education and the supervision of field agents. The office traditionally has been responsible for correspondence, reports, and work plans relating to rural development projects, family life, beef cattle, dairy, swine and poultry farming, soil conservation, tobacco, corn and cotton crop production, nutrition and health, wildlife, land use planning, and agronomy. Scope and Content NoteThis collection contains publications and reports relating to the administration and activities of extension programs, 4-H, home demonstration, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), rural development, and farm education. Also contained are Cooperative Extension Service histories, correspondence, and plans of work relating to rural development projects. The correspondence is primarily that of David S. Weaver, agricultural engineer, educator, and administrator. Weaver was professor, then Department Head of the Agricultural Engineering Department at North Carolina State University. He was Agricultural Extension Service Assistant Director, then Director, 1948-1961. Additionally there is correspondence generated by R. W. Shoffner, Agricultural Cooperative Service District Agent, 1945-1950, Assistant Director, 1950-1961, and then Director of the Cooperative Extension Service, 1961-1969.
