Description

This directory consists of entries describing 181 repositories in 195 counties* in south
central Appalachia which hold historical records documenting the political, social, cultural,
and economic history of the region, and a list of "Coming Attractions/' agencies which do
not currently collect manuscript materials but which plan to do so in the future. Also includ-
ed are indexes by type of material and by subject which will enable researchers to locate
selected genres of documentary material (e.g. photographs) or materials related to a par-
ticular subject.
