Dr. Ann Hertzler Collection



Boy mixing a treat with help from friends

Three friends are beating eggs — from I've Been Working in the Kitchen (Nov. 1985), Dr. Ann Hertzler Collection, Ms 2001-004.

Dr. Ann Hertzler was Professor of Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise at Virginia Tech, from 1980-2001. This manuscript collection includes papers, photographs, musical scripts, artifacts, and display materials largely about children's nutrition.

In 2005, Prof. Emerita Hertzler established the Ann Hertzler Children's Cookbook and Nutrition Literature Collection. Her initial donation of publications dating from 1910 has grown to nearly 400 and is available along with the Culinary History Collection through Addison, the library's online catalog.
