American Seed Trade Association Records

The American Seed Trade Association Records consist mainly of photographs and negatives taken at American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) annual meetings. Most of the photographs depict people and places, and are organized and labeled by state and the name of the conference held within the state. Other organizations' photographs are present; these include the Southern Seedsmen's Association, the Western Seedsmen's Association, and the Pacific Seedsmen's Association. The collection also contains meeting minutes, constitutions, by-laws, letters, and memoranda of both the New England Seedsmen's Association and the Seed Council of North America. There are also records of ASTA's National Beautification Committee (1967-1971), including committee papers, reports, and seed packets.
