Rural History at the University of Guelph Research in rural history at the University of Guelph aims to transcend simplified views and distortions about the past. Guelph’s historians and their colleagues seek to understand rural men and women, families and communities from their own viewpoints, as they sought to shape themselves and their society. Rural history here includes farming and agriculture, but encompasses the whole history of (and images of) rural society, politics, economy, and institutions. Until quite recently, most people lived in rural settings. Yet most history has been written from the perspective of town-dwellers. Often, the rural world has been less understood than stylized, as a contrast, good or bad, with the city: if the urban is dynamic, the countryside is static; if the urban is progressive, the rural is traditional; if the urban is bad, the rural is good; if the city is artificial, the rural is natural. Studying – and serving – rural communities has been a core orientation of the University of Guelph since its origins as an agricultural college. The Department of History has long shared this interest, as was recognized in 2002 by the establishment of the Canada Research Chair in Rural History. Today a number of historians (faculty and graduate students) are pursuing research on rural subjects in widely varied contexts. This website highlights what we do and seeks to assist students and scholars, at Guelph and elsewhere. It offers information on sources (at present mainly, but not only, in a Canadian context) and selective links to relevant material at and beyond Guelph. Through it, we hope to encourage research in and debates about the field. The site will continue to evolve. We welcome suggestions: advice, information, comments, and criticism.

Calendar These two dyad (linked) courses will focus on agriculture, especially agriculture in the Midwest. Literary scholars and scientists are both intrigued by the place of agriculture in our society but they go about asking and answering questions in distinctive ways. For instance, geologists might examine the climate of the 1930s and 1940s by studying instrumental records and comparing this period to longer-term climate records of the past. Studying the literature and films of the period, historians and literary scholars might explore the cultural roots of the Dust Bowl crisis and its effect on American life. By combining these two approaches, a more holistic view of these issues may emerge. Here are some questions that point toward possible links in these approaches:

HOME BACKGROUND RESOURCES FIELD TRIPS Introduction Tour Itinerary Destinations Small Farm 1 Small Farm 2 Commercial Farm Issues ... Field Trips Introduction to the Rural Life and Agriculture Tour Introduction to the Rural Life and Agriculture Tour On this tour you are going to be taken to four farms. Each farm is very different and each have their own set of economic problems. As you become aware of these you could perhaps reflect on the causes and possible solutions. % of GDP in agriculture, industry and service 1997 Agriculture Much agricultural output is subsistence, growing maize and other crops for family consumption, and does not reach the market place. Most of the marketed maize output is produced by the mainly white settler run commercial farms. However there are an increasing number of small and medium scale African farms producing cash crops such as maize or sorghum and sweet potato. It will become apparent through the tour how important the maize crop is to rural communities. However, at present due to low levels of productivity, recent droughts and lack of investment in the agricultural sector the farms have been unable to produce enough maize, the staple crop, to meet the annual domestic demand resulting in increasing quantities being imported from South Africa.
