Plowline: Images of Rural New York

From the Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown, New York comes Plowline: Images of Rural New York. This digitized collection of photographs is part of a "collecting initiative" to document "changes in agricultural practice, rural life and farming families in New York State from the 19th century through the present." On this website, visitors can browse a remarkable collection of photographs from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by author or by format (including Postcard, Stereograph, and Print Photograph). A few of the gems in this extensive collection include an 1850s daguerreotype of a farmhouse, a collection of early 1940s photographs of farms and farmers from the Croft Photographic Laboratory, and a 1900 map of the milk supply in Boston. Collectively, these photographs call attention to the shifting technology and culture of American agriculture.
