Title: Berea College Appalachian Museum Oral History collection [sound recording] / by Berea College Appalachian Museum.

These interviews were recorded 1975-1980 originally to provide spoken narrative and work-related environmental sounds for use in the production of audio-visual exhibits at Berea College Appalachian Museum. The interviews and in some instances, photographs document a wide variety of Appalachian traditional crafts, occupations, and expressive culture from areas of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Subject areas include blacksmithing, carpentry, chair making, coal mining, corn shuck doll making, dulcimer building, gardening, herb lore, logging, pottery making, quilting, religion, spinning, vegetable dying, and weaving. The material relating to Pine Mountain Settlement School in part addresses the school's interest in preserving various aspects of traditional crafts and expressive culture. However, there is also a substantial amount of information regarding the schools founding, founders, and educational philosophy.
