The Collection
Pendergrass Library was the state depository for agriculture publications through 1989 and has followed Government Publishing Office (GPO) guidelines to keep publications of historical significance that were published prior to this date. Currently, the University of Memphis is the regional depository library and maintains publications and records after 1989.
In addition to our agriculture publications, Pendergrass maintains an extensive collection of Soil Surveys. See our list of Tennessee Soil Surveys by County for holdings at Pendergrass Library.
