We often have people call or stop by our office asking if we have copies of brochures or pamphlets from years gone by. Many of our brochures originate from the USDA. The USDA’s National Agricultural Library Digital Repository is a wonderful place to find an assortment of information – including older brochures and pamphlets.
From their website:
"The National Agricultural Library Digital Repository (NALDR) provides access to primarily historical USDA publications either digitized by NAL or through NAL’s partnerships with other institutions."
The resources go back over 100 years. Newer resources are available too.
The NALDR subjects include:
- Agriculture Handbook
- Agriculture Information Bulletin
- Books, Manuscripts, Miscellaneous Articles, Reports and Images
- Circular
- Farmers’ bulletin
- Home and Garden Bulletin
- Journal of Agricultural Research
- Leaflet
- Miscellaneous Publication
- Technical Bulletin
- USDA Bulletins
- Yearbook of Agriculture
Some of the resources are available in Spanish.
