Canning Foods: Necessity or Pleasure, Audio
In this project, Anne Rehak interviewed two people about their experiences with canning vegetables. Ms. Rehak was not aware that people still canned food since grocery stores are so plentiful and fully stocked, and through these interviews learned how and why people can now and why they canned historically. This interview is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009. Minimally contain collector’s introduction and analysis, transcribed informant interviews, and excerpted and labeled examples of oral, customary, and/or material folklore/folklife collected primarily within the Appalachian region. Most include also tables of contents, informant information, indexes (outlines) of interviews, photographs, miscellaneous paper items, and indexes of informants, genres, and geographic locations.

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.

The Salt of the Earth: The Life and Times in a Company Town
In this project, Tracy S. Smith chose to investigate the history of Saltville, Virginia by focusing on the lens of it being a company town. The original company associated with Saltville was the Mathieson Alkali Works of Saltville, Virginia (1893), and they produced soda ash from local deposits of salt, coal, and limestone and later in other salt byproducts. In later years the company merged with the Olin Chemical Corporation. Ms. Smith interviewed several people who had worked and lived in Saltville to form a good picture of life in the town, how the company affected residents and employees in both good and bad ways, and heard discussion of a tragic accident that killed or injured many town residents.

Cooking Up A Storm: A Story of Cooking, Gathering, and Natural Healing in Appalachia
Angie Spence enjoys cooking and knows from her experiences growing up in the Eastern Shore of Virginia, that people cook with what foods are native to their regions. This idea interested her and gave inspiration for this project. Ms. Spence found three local fans of cooking and interviewed, and cooked with them. During the interviews, she heard about gathering roots and berries, canning, making preserves, and natural healing using traditional Appalachian herbal elixirs. In addition, Ms. Spence saw that with a love of cooking comes also a love of family and friends. This interview is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009.

Night of Terror: Hurricane Camille hits Nelson County
August 19, 1969 is a day that many people in Nelson County, Virginia remember very well. Camille was a Category 5 hurricane when it hit land, and although it was no longer a hurricane when it passed over Nelson County, Virginia, it was still a storm with a devastating amount of rain and wind. The storm dropped between 12 and 27 inches of rain (depending on where in the county) in a 5 hour period and stalled over the county causing flooding, and landslides. Heather D. Branch interviewed four people who lived through and remember very well the storm and its aftermath. This interview is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009.
