Scope and Content

From the Collection:

The Ann A. Hertzler Collection contains biographical information, publications, project and subject files, and artifacts relating to Hertzler's professional career at the University of Missouri-Columbia (1974-1980) and Virginia Tech (1980-2001). Particular areas of emphasis are children's health and nutrition, food and food programs, and Extension publications from both colleges.

A majority of the publications and personal/professional material was originally contained in two 5-inch binders, which were broken down to facilitate integration with the rest of the collection. These binders included an introduction to the contents, as well as a brief overview of Hertzler's experiences and observations about changes to her field during her career. This introduction is included with the CV (Box-folder 1-1).

The collection is divided into 6 series--Series I: Curriculum Vita and Biographical Information, Series II: Hertzler Publications, Series III: Other Publications, Series IV: Project/Subject Files, Series V: Oversize Materials, and Series VI: Artifacts. Throughout the collection, folders containing publications include bibliographies--see the "Contents List" below.

This collection does not contain information relating to: the courses Hertzler taught at Virginia Tech or other schools; Hertzler's employment experience prior to the University of Missouri-Columbia; projects connected to service with the Virginia Dietetic Association; service in professional organizations; or sabbaticals taken in 1978 and 1989.
