Search or browse the Primary Sources database to find images and information about objects and documents related to agriculture and rural life. The objects and documents featured come primarily from the collections of The Farmersą Museum and the New York State Historical Association. You can zoom in on images of objects and documents and print them. (In "Explore the Village," you can also collect them for your own video as part of the Village Videomaker.) We will continue to add objects and documents to the database, so remember to visit Harvest of History frequently.
