Archival Adventures: Food & Agriculture During the World Wars

Archival Adventures: Food & Agriculture During the World Wars

It's time for an adventure -- And don't forget to buy war bonds! This week we're taking a look at food agriculture, and rationing propaganda and publications during the World Wars. Along the way we may also look at how things like paper were rationed during the wars to avoid shortages for the war effort. This week's collections feature Information from both the United States and the United Kingdom during the wars. Take a look at what we have pulled for this week's episode here: bit.ly/ArchivalAdventures159.

Join our community collections archivist, Anthony Wright de Hernandez, for a livestream on Twitch! Every week we explore and discuss materials from Special Collections and University Archives covering topics including university history, NASA pioneers, architecture, science fiction, cooking, LGBTQ+ history, Black history, urban legends, and more. Recordings of previous streams are available on the Libaries' Youtube page.
