The records in this collection document a substantial portion of the DuPage County Farm Bureau history from its inception in 1913 through 1970. Records include incorporation certificates, minutes from the board of directors, membership reports, financial accounts, photographs, publications, and scrapbooks of the DuPage County Farm Bureau Women’s Committee. Also included in the collection are records describing national and state farm bureau policy developments and activities from 1950 to 1966. Researchers should note a number of printed materials and publications relate in part to the farm bureau organization providing information on dairy farming and bicentennial farms.
