TREC began operations in 1930 with development of the land and planting of the first crops. The digitized card catalog documents the earliest plants collected and cultivated at TREC including ornamental and fruit crops. Native and rare plants are also included with conservation focus. Most of the cards document activity from the 1930's to the 1960's with fewer entries from the 1970's and 1980's. The catalog for this collection is contained as `_CardCatalogFiles2021.xlsx` with the collection as the accompanying 468 image files that digitize 4,170 cards.
