| The Core Historical Literature of Agriculture <http://chla.library.cornell.edu>. Created and maintained by the Core Historical Literature Group (Joy Paulson, chair), Albert R. Mann Library, Cornell University. Reviewed Feb.March 2004.

| The Core Historical Literature of Agriculture (CHLA) is a full-text digital collection selected from over 350,000 volumes in the Mann Library at Cornell University. The collection is remarkably useful to anyone interested in the history of rural life and economy in the United States, though it does not quite live up to its name. Covering agricultural economics, engineering, animal science, crops and their protection, food science, forestry, human nutrition, rural sociology, and soil science, this site offers the best single collection available on these subjects and in a familiar format. There are 846 monographs reproduced on the CHLA, or 315,766 pages. The material dates overwhelmingly from the twentieth century, with only a few books from the nineteenth, and no titles published before 1847. |
