MoreThe North Carolina State University Genetics Department Film Collection, 1960s-2000s, includes five 16mm films. They range in length from 15 to 30 minutes long. Two are labeled as being in color and it is likely that the other three are in color as well. The film, "Yeast" included in this collection may be in Japanese. The films are educational and all relate to biological genetics. No formally organized genetics department existed at North Carolina State University until 1951. Until that time, the subject of genetics was distributed to several long-established departments within the School of Agriculture. By the 1930s, departments such as Agronomy, Zoology, and Plant Pathology (among others) were beginning to take an interest in genetics and the possible ways in which it could be integrated into their coursework and research projects. In 1951, the University decided to create a department devoted entirely to genetics for graduate degrees and more basic research. In 2013, the programs of the Department of Genetics were subsumed under the new Department of Biological Sciences in the new College of Sciences.
