Women's Roles in Twentieth Century Appalachia, Audio Part 2
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. 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. Accompanying audio recordings (several minutes to 2+ hours). Transferred to McConnell Library Archives & Special Collections from Appalachian Regional and Rural Studies Center, Fall 2013.- Creator

The Son of a Coal Miner: A Glimpse into the Broomsfield Mining Community
In this project, Andy Gliebe interviewed Jack Kipps about growing up around the Broomsfield and Merrimac mines in Virginia. Mr. Kipps explained how the folks lived in the mining camps, including talk of what games the children played, how neighbors helped each other, and even about things they were superstitious about. While Kipps did not work in the mine, his father did, so his stories are about miner families and communities.

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.

The Fury of a Flood. The Roanoke Flood of 1985
November 1985 is a time many resident of Southwest Virginia remember because of the flooding in the Roanoke Valley. The remnants of hurricane Juan and a lingering storm that had been stalled over Roanoke for several days intersected and dumped 6 inches of rain in 24 hours on an already waterlogged city. Power was knocked out for days, houses and businesses were flooded sometimes with as much as 5 feet of water inside them. In the end the flooding spread from Montgomery to Rockingham County. In this project, Eric Fuchs interviewed two people who lived through the flood to record their memories of 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.

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.
