This collection contains primarily copies of articles that were researched in the writing of The Rise, Fall, and Future of Florida's Citrus Industry. This includes information spanning over one hundred years of this citrus industry's history, with its focus on origin, failure, and success. It also includes manuscript and edited copies of sections of the book itself, as well as annotations and outlines of research.

The collection contains typescripts, correspondence, business files, publicity materials, and novels, which have been removed from the collection and cataloged separately.  Also includes Hagberg's typewriter, which may be found on a shelf adjacent to the collection.

The Degen Resource Room has an extensive historic playbill collection. The collection consists of playbills of productions from all over the world beginning in 1873. The Degen Resource Room is continuing to catalog this massive collection, so the entire scope of this collection cannot yet be assessed. However, it is estimated that we hold one of the premiere playbill collections in the nation. As cataloging continues to take place, we will be able to ascertain the extent of this very special and unique collection.
