Images from the McCormick-International Harvester Collection


The International Harvester Company was the largest and most influential farm equipment manufacturer of the twentieth century. The combined McCormick-International Harvester materials comprise the largest single collection held by the Wisconsin Historical Society Archives. This massive collection includes hundreds of thousands of images dating from the 1840s through the 1980s, created by and for the McCormick and International Harvester companies, and Cyrus McCormick and his family. These images document the history of the agricultural equipment industry, as well as rural life, small towns, architecture, industrial labor, technology, transportation, and advertising.
