HARVEST: Access to Historical U.S. Agriculture Collections • Portal developed by Cornell as part of Phase VI to provide a single point of access to CHLA and the state level collections created by the University of Arizona and Colorado State University. • http://harvest.mannlib.cornell.edu
The initial print archive corpus will consist largely of the rich test bed of agricultural serials microfilmed and/or digitized under the USAIN program and maintained by libraries and other institutions participating in the USAIN program. These materials include the agricultural serials microfilmed by USAIN libraries in 23 states and the materials digitized and included in CHLA (Core Historic Literature of Agriculture) and HEARTH (Home Economics Archive: Research, Tradition, and History
