The Women's Agricultural Camp (also known as the Women's Land Army or the "Farmerettes") is documented with a Handbook of Standards for the Woman's Land Army of America, an informational bulletin on agricultural service, and the first annual report of Barnard College's Women's Agricultural Camp. In addition, there is a speech by Miss Ida Ogilvie, the director of the Women's Agricultural Camp, about the history of the camp and the necessity of its continued existence. A few newspaper articles and images of the "Farmerettes" from 1917 and 1918 are also in the collection. There are approximately 20 photographs of the Farmerettes working at the Bedford camp and out in the fields in 1917 and 1918. A few of the photographs are duplicate images. According to handwritten notes on the back of one of the photographs, Barnard students who were Farmerettes included: Elizabeth Waterbury, Effie Ross, Mary Hildreth, Edith Oberlé, Alice Johnson, Marion Alleman, Gertrude Mannis, Jessie Howard, Alice Rice, Elizabeth Alleman, and Dorothy Robb.
