Appalink
Appalachian Studies Association’s newsletter, called Appalink since the second issue, is published twice a year, keeping members up-to-date on relevant information, happenings, and events such as the annual Appalachian Studies Conference. Important conference details are always published in Appalink, like the location and theme. Most issues of the newsletter feature a message from the current ASA president on topics ranging from volunteer opportunities to environmental concerns. While Appalink has changed in layout, content, and length over time, it continues to bring news of the ASA to its membership bi-annually.
