The Floyd Halleck Higgins Agricultural Technology Photographs began as a series in the F. Hal Higgins Collection. In 1927
F. Hal Higgins began collecting materials relating to the history of combines and tractors. Over time the collection expanded
to include materials describing farm implements, farm commodities, and equipment for logging, earthmoving and construction.
The Library, University of California, Davis acquired Higgins' collection in 1959. Regular patron use of the collection
indicated a strong interest in the photographs of tractors and other farm machinery. In order to better serve patrons,
Library staff housed the photographs together as they were found in the collection. In 1983, the photographs that had
accumulated in the F. Hal Higgins collection were removed from the collection and organized as the Floyd Halleck Higgins
Agricultural Technology Photographs.
Photographs and negatives of farm machinery, equipment dealerships, and people of note in agricultural technology
history.
Images are arranged alphabetically by manufacturer or occasionally by subject.
Collection processed with help from student assistants Kelley Liang and Ana Rodriguez.
Finding aid is a work in progress.
