The Crop Science Department Photographic Collection consists of images of department staff meetings, award ceremonies, events, faculty and staff, and field trips.

Images from this collection have been digitized and are available in Oregon Digital.

The collection includes photographs taken of a Crop Science Department staff meeting in 1975, an award ceremony for Gordon Van Riper, and the 1974 Crop Science Field Day at the Hyslop Agronomy Farm. Emphasized in the images of the Field Day are wheat and barley varieties at the farm. The photos were taken by Robert W. Henderson.

The photographs also include images taken by Farm Crop Department staff of Farm Crops Club field trips in Oregon and Washington, various kinds of plowing machinery, and examples of wind and water erosion. Among the places featured in the field trip images are the Oregon towns of Moro, Hermiston, Pendleton and Astoria, and the Washington towns of Yakima and Walla Walla. Of additional interest in the field trip photos are images of the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam.

The bulk of the materials described above have been digitized and made available online.
