No Power? No Problem! : Preserving food on farms
In this project, Diane Brinkley interviewed Ray Dickerson to learn more about how people preserved farm-raised foods during the Great Depression. Mr. Dickerson grew up on land that is now the Selu Conservancy in Radford, Virginia. Topics discussed include various types of canning, using salt, and carefully selecting where you stored preserved foods in the house.

Dry Valley: Ways to Have Fun as a Boy
In this project, Dana Stevenson interviewed Ray Dickerson, who grew up on what is now the Selu Conservancy on the Radford University campus. During the interview, Mr. Dickerson spoke of pranks he and his brother would play on other residents of the area, games they played, and about early preservation efforts made on the property and gave general information about growing up at what is now known as Selu.

Women's Roles in Twentieth Century Appalachia
Laura Dumin began this project with the intent to learn more about the property that is now known as the Selu Conservancy, but in the process of doing it, she noticed and became interested in the way that even when she specifically asked about women or women’s experiences, she inevitably heard about men and their experiences instead. This inspired her to make her project about Appalachian women and how they are perceived by people in the Appalachian region.
