Soil and Health Library
December 26th, 2007The Soil and Health Library represents the most astonishing collection of materials on small scale agriculture and homesteading that I have ever come across. And that’s just the beginning of what’s on offer.
Special thanks to IL for telling me about this digital library.

You can also find a sizeable collection of scanned agriculture texts in the Cornell University Core Historical Literature of Agriculture on-line library. There are 1800+ books and nearly a million scanned pages there. The downsides are that the collection is so large it can be hard to find something on a particular topic, and secondly you can’t download entire texts (you can only view individual pages).
I sense life on the Farmlet passing through the veil and invading the Cryptogon mindspace…
I’ll offer a strong second and move to register a unanimous vote on this one. Your Tasmanian “neighbor”, Steve Solomon, has assembled an outstanding collection of texts on all manner of things independent-minded.
The agricultural and homesteading texts are not all you’ll find though. It is an iinteresting thing to read an old, long out-of-pring text ranting on about the same issues of corruption and corporate piracy that have been re-branded “conspiracy theory” in our “modern” times.
Anita & I also felt strongly about the value of what he’s created, and have also contributed to Steve’s efforts in the past, including some translations.
