Collections Video: Hilltop Farm Collection

Graduate student Timber Wright recently spent some time working on processing a collection of documents from the Hilltop Farm Project, an experiment in subsistence living starting in 1941 that lasted until 1945. The project ultimately failed, and Wright notes that was enlightening to trace the project's ups and downs. Some of the interesting items include letters and illustrations that help show off some of the experiences that the project's members had.
