Historical Note
Information provided by the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences explains that the College of Agriculture Experiment Station was established in 1892 as the research function of the College …and has the responsibility to conduct applied and basic investigations to problem solving and new knowledge for agricultural industries, rural communities, and family living. The counterpoint to this program is the Idaho Cooperative Extension that has district offices in Moscow, Coeur d’Alene, Boise, Twin Falls, and Idaho Falls. Extension specialists are located in Parma, Idaho Falls, Caldwell, Soda Springs, Kimberly, Sandpoint, and Aberdeen. Early stations once existed in Jerome, Tetonia, Gooding, and Grangeville. The Experiment Stations have been the research arm of the College of Agriculture for over one hundred years. Land use development, seed certification, wheat production, farm management, and the animal industry are topics addressed in this manuscript group.
Records from the Agricultural Engineering series include senior student reports on field trips undertaken to provide on-site training and instruction. The reports also include photographs of students and faculty members.

Arrangement
Since the manuscript collection is comprised of numerous accessions transferred over several years, it was necessary to create an order based on the different types of records held. A list of series was compiled with groups of folders falling into categories based on original folder headings. These folder headings were retained throughout the collection.
The materials are organized into eight series: Series 1. Correspondence; Series 2. Meetings/minutes; Series 3. Conferences; Series 4. Research; Series 5. Financial/Legal; Series 6. Experiment Stations; Series 7. Photographs; Series 8. Agricultural Engineering.
Location of Collection
Special Collections and Archives of the University of Idaho Library.Acquisition Information
The records of the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station were transferred to the University of Idaho Library between 1985 and 1991.
Processing Note
Marilyn Sandmeyer processed the records in December 2006 and January 2007.
