Vision To preserve and make 4-H history (documents and artifacts) accessible nationwide.In close collaboration with national 4-H headquarters at USDA, National 4-H Council, State and County 4-H programs, the 4-H History Preservation Program will:
How It Will Work 4-H has always been a grass-roots movement, so it’s important that history be preserved at the local and state levels.Most 4-H History will be preserved locally. County groups and projects will document local impact; state archives and museums will record the significance of formal youth programs. People with 4-H artifacts should contact local or state 4-H officials to donate them. To assure that 4-H history is preserved in a uniform way and accessible for a broad range of research and other uses, the 4-H History Preservation Program will prepare standards for digitization and protection. The public-private partnership is clear at the national level with collaboration between USDA 4-H headquarters and National 4-H Council. This history is appropriately preserved at the national level. Funds will be needed to digitize, preserve and protect materials at the 4-H Center, the National Agricultural Library, National Archives, and other sites. The 4-H History Preservation Program will work with Epsilon Sigma Phi, the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents, and other national organizations to spread the word and enlist support. How YOU Can Help You can volunteer your time and/or money to help preserve the history of one of America’s oldest and finest youth development movements.
