Appalachian Studies: Web Resources

[theHandpuppet]

There is a terrific index here provided by WVU to web resources for Appalachian Studies:

2. Appalachian Studies Association

http://www.appalachianstudies.org/

I haven't yet had the chance to thoroughly check out this site but it looks as if they have a lot to offer, including a scholarly newsletter and an annual conference. The ASA office is located Marshall University, Huntington, WV.

3. Here's a great site

http://www.appalachianhistory.net/

I find the search feature not to my liking (I prefer to browse, m'self) but there's a treasure trove of interesting articles, essays, photos et al to be found here: http://www.appalachianhistory.net/

The Center for Virtual Appalachia is a collection of information, photos, articles, and data about the Appalachian region and its people. Lots of great stuff here!

7. Thanks!

I'm trying to set up something a little different here than you find elsewhere on DU, where it can be difficult to gather information on a particular topic. I don't know about you, but threads seem to scroll by so fast I lose track of some really good ones. So I thought if I created some umbrella headers here for subjects such as mountaintop mining, links to research sources on various topics, et al, we could more easily find those references to specific subjects that interest us. Also, folks can add to those threads at any time or suggest/start new ones.

Some of the umbrella threads we have here so far are:
Appalachian Studies: Web Resources
Native Americans of the Appalachians -- Resources
WV spill updates
Articles & News on Appalachian Health
Mountaintop Removal
The Women of Appalachia - Fearless and Still Fighting
College scholarships for Appalachian students
The Black Experience in Appalachia: Resources
Prominent Women in Appalachian History
Appalachian Mountain Music & Dance Videos
The Jewish Experience in Appalachia: Resources
From the Bookshelf: Appalachian Voices
The Latino Experience In Appalachia

What I should probably do is pin a list of these threads at the top of the first page.
