Biographical / Historical

In 1982, with the support of alumni, Gould Colman initiated a second project to continue and revisit work that had been done for the New York State Agricultural Leaders Oral History Project. Between 1982 and1984, ca. ninety-five individuals were interviewed (some re-interviewed) to discuss their roles in CALS development, in New York State agriculture.
