The Archives of Appalachia is a keeper of memories—the written words, images, and sounds that document life in southern Appalachia. We house nearly 18 million manuscripts, 100,000 sound recordings, and 250,000 still and moving images.
The Archives of Appalachia is a unit of the Center for Appalachian Studies & Services at East Tennessee State University.

The Mission of the Archives of Appalachia is to support research, educational activities, and artistic creativity that promote an understanding of the Appalachian region. The Archives seeks to collect and preserve those records of enduring value that document the historical and cultural fabric of life in Appalachia and make those records accessible for use by students, teachers, scholars, and the general public.
