The Rural Development oral histories are of fair sound quality. The second set of oral histories were done in the early 1990s with USDA officials and agricultural personalities such as Nathan Koffsky, Wheeler McMillen and Robert McMillen, Joseph Doherty, Clarence Pals, and Wayne Rasmussen. The third set includes four interviews covering the Women Landowners Project. Interviews cover the subject's role at the USDA or any affiliated programs, their experiences, and special stories about co-workers. Miscellaneous materials include interviews that do not fit with any oral history program.
Miscellaneous tapes are of varying quality.
