Cookery Vertical File Collection
Collection Overview
Description
This collection consists of printed recipe booklets and brochures for various food brands and kitchen products from the 1900s to the present. Historically in American society, cooking has been within the domestic sphere and this collection reflects that with representations of traditional gender roles.
The collection is sorted by primary ingredients (baking soda, yeast, etc.), as well as categories (desserts, fried foods, etc.) and some major brands (Betty Crocker, Kraft, etc.). Within each folder, the material is alphabetized by brand name.
See examples from this collection along with many other materials in the Browne Popular Culture Library cookery collections in the What's Cookin' in the BPCL libguide.
