From the Archives: Christmas Trees from our Digital Archives

The holidays are nearly upon us, and NC State students have finished their exams and preparing for winter break. We here at the Special Collections and Research Center at NCSU Libraries want to wish you Happy Holidays and show off the Rare and Unique Digital Collections , so here are videos, images, and documents featuring Christmas trees, an important plant industry in North Carolina. Let's start off with two videos we have digitally preserved and uploaded to our site. Enjoy!

Here is a selection of digitized images from our archives. The Christmas trees shown here not only come from collections highlighting University history and its winters past, but also our focus on forestry, home demonstration, and agricultural extension.

Finally, here are two text documents, "Forestry manual and record book for 4-H club members" and "Pathways To A New Century: Summary Report 1987-1990." Both discuss the importance of Christmas trees as an economical resource, one as a guide written for young 4-H club members, the other a progress report for NC Cooperative Extension Service workers.

Again, have a wonderful break!
