Food & Drink History Resources @Virginia Tech (and Beyond): Food + Drink (History) Allowed: Collecting, Researching, + Collaborating in the Archives (October 29, 2021)

This page includes resources related to "Food + Drink (History) Allowed:  Collecting, Researching, + Collaborating in the Archives," a public talk given on October 29, 2021. The Peacock-Harper Culinary History Friends and the Food Studies program at Virginia Tech co-sponsored this talk by Kira Dietz, Assistant Director, Special Collections and University Archives at Virginia Tech. The archives is home to a scholarly collection of more than 7,500 volumes and 125 manuscript collections related to food and drink history, with an emphasis on several topics/areas. In late 2020, we also took over management of The Food Timeline. This talk will introduce our collecting area and its history, highlight some areas of focus (including food technology + production, culinary education, and cocktail history in America) + favorite items, and share some future directions for our current work + collaborations.

This page includes the video (and a link to the video in an external video player) and the slideshow. The one-page resource sheet referenced in the video and the slides is also available online.
