The Collection
Pendergrass Library was the state depository for agriculture publications through 1989. As such, we followed Government Publishing Office (GPO) guidelines to keep items of historical importance. Currently, the University of Memphis is the regional depository library and is home to items published after 1989.
Also, Pendergrass maintains a large collection of Tennessee Soil Surveys. You can learn more on our Soil Survey guide.
