Apr. 20, 2015 University of Illinois' Agricultural Communications Documentation Center (ACDC) reports: We are pleased to announce that processing of a new Volume One Number One (V1N1) Collection of Agricultural Periodicals is completed. ACDC graduate assistant Amanda Marolf began the effort in 2013 and graduate assistant Kelsey Berryhill completed it. This major effort involved processing premier issues of 592 agricultural journals and farm papers. Most were published in the U.S. They span a 166-year period, from 1842 to 2008. John Harvey, veteran agricultural journalist and communicator, contributed 372 of them in 2012, plus hundreds of special editions, catalogs, reports, rare serials and other items. Dr. Jim Evans here at the University of Illinois contributed 220 V1N1 issues last summer, plus selected anniversary issues and special editions. Altogether, their contributions total more than 1,800 items. Would you like to get acquainted with this unique resource? that lists all of the V1N1 items in one place. View our digital exhibits page for selected resources on a given theme. March's exhibit featured women's publications for Women's History Month, and another exhibit is current in progress. Use the BibLeaves search system for title searches on specific V1N1 periodicals of interest to you. The ACDC is excited to provide a home for this one-of-a-kind collection. It offers a great view of innovation, creativity, and change in agricultural publishing across the decades. Most Thursdays, the ACDC Twitter page (@ACDCUIUC) features an item for "Throwback Thursday," so make sure to check that out as well. Please let us know if this V1N1 collection can help you or someone you know with a project or search. Our staff will be happy to help!
