This list is an attempt to create a comprehensive catalog of USDA Farmers' Bulletins.  They began publishing these booklets in 1889.  We are working to create a collection of these historical documents.  It should be noted that although much of the information they contain is valuable from a historic and even from a practical perspective for small farmers, some information is now considered inaccurate and in some cases, dangerous.  For this reason, we must state that the documents are intended to be used as historical information only.

If you have bulletins that are missing from this collection and would like to see them preserved and put to good use, please contact us.  Additionally, if you have the time and inclination, scanned (PDF) versions are appreciated as well.

Click here for a glossary of library and rare book terms.

Please note, this is a huge list of over 2000 line items.  It may take up to 12.8 minutes at 28.8 kBps.  Last updated on March 18, 2008.

Online documents are available to subscribing members.
