The federal Project Grant award of $347,919 was provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Save America's Treasures program (CFDA 15.929). The funding will support the Center for Appalachian Studies and Services at East Tennessee State University to process, preserve, and digitize approximately 1,000 oral history interviews, 1,500 photographs, and 100 linear feet of documents related to the people and cultures of southern and central Appalachia. The 2-year project will involve hiring a project archivist and graduate assistant to rehouse the collection and make the digitized content accessible online for students and researchers. This grant aims to preserve and provide access to these historically significant materials documenting the Appalachian region.
