Food--United States--History--20th century.

This collection consists of a three-volume set of binders containing photographic prints and newspaper clippings from Beech-Nut Packing Company history. Beech-Nut Packing had a plant in Rochester from 1912 to 1970. Materials in the collection range from 1913 to 1966.

This collection consists of recipes collected by Rochester resident Judith Van Ness. The receipes reflect her personal interest in low-sugar and vegetarian cooking at a time when these approaches to eating were first entering the American diet. The collection includes both recipes clipped from various sources and those written out longhand. A guide to the handwriting of various recipe writers is included with the collection.
