Scope and Content Note

From the Sub-Series:

There are 32 videotapes, mostly in Beta format, though there are also VHS tapes and 2-inch editing tapes. Most tapes are video recordings of the proceedings of an ERS conference on April 4, 1991, and cover a luncheon session, sessions on the history of agricultural policy, and sessions on the current state of the department. There are also several tapes of interviews with USDA officials Nathan Koffsky, C. Kyle Randall, Harry Steele, and Walter Wilcox. There are edited master copies of these recorded oral history interviews (done by Wayne Rasmussen) on 2" tape, and raw interview material on Beta tapes. There is also a tape entitled "Rasmussen--Intros and Cutaways," which provided additional material for the master copy. There is one other interview with Quentin West that is not part of the above group. This is a 2" master copy, and seems to come from a different set of oral histories than the Rasmussen video recordings.

Two more tapes are educational programs intended for broadcast. They cover the effects of pesticides in agricultural products and a history of the American forest.
