Something I have found very encouraging over the years and moreso in recent years is the documentation through collections at universities of states and regions and for me, even better is that no area has as extensive an interest as the southern mountains. The 244 counties of what we call Appalachia is now blessed with both private and college collections to fantastic extent.

Thanks kat.......I only wish more of it was online! But one can spend some beautiful times in eastern Tennessee and Kentucky exploring....
