This project is a collaboration between LSU Libraries, the LSU AgCenter, and the LSU College of Agriculture. In celebration of the centennial of the Smith-Lever Act, this oral history project documents the impact of Cooperative Extension Services on the state of Louisiana. The Smith-Lever Act, passed in 1914, helped finance outreach endeavors through Land-Grant Universities, allowing for Cooperative Extension Services across the nation to present research-based information to the public.
