WELCOME
Since 1977, ASA has
been vital to the understanding of the Appalachian region and its people.
This new site will help tell the story of ASA.
Conference programs
are categorized
by year published and linked from the below list. An
ASA Timeline shows
the development of the Association in the larger context of appalachian
history and scholarship. A historical narrative will detail the 25
years of ASA's existence.
The Share
Memories link above is a discussion board that allows visitors to
post memories of ASA. This forum should help establish ASA's collective
memory. Also, these posts will provide input for the drafting of ASA's
historical narative.
