About the Collection

The originals of photographs featured in this online exhibit, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the organization, are preserved in the Records of the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union housed in the Colorado Agricultural Archive of the CSU Libraries. This archival collection offers a rich variety of historic documents, such as meeting minutes, charters, correspondence, convention records, publications and newsletters. Other materials in the collection include photographs, phonograph records, audio cassettes and videotapes documenting RMFU activities.

The documents of the Records of the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union provide insights into the economic, political, technological and environmental issues confronting family farms in Colorado and adjacent states.
