We’re pleased to announce publication of the Spring/Summer issue of the Appalachian Curator. This issue includes an interview with Scottish archivist Catherine MacPhee, the first part of a new update of the 1985 Archives in Appalachia survey, responses from two PhD candidates on archival research during the pandemic, our new “ask an archivist” feature, a report on ASA’s Special Collections committee, a story on the Library of Appalachian Preaching at Marshall University, what’s new in Appalachian archives, and our featured collection, ETSU’s Archives of Appalachia. Enjoy!
This issue is packed with great stuff, but the interview with Catherine MacPhee really caught my eye—it's always interesting to see how archival practices translate across different regions and traditions. The update on the Archives in Appalachia survey is timely too, since so many collections are still figuring out how to handle the backlog of pandemic-era materials. Speaking of visual archives, I've been using bad quality image tools to intentionally degrade photos for a project on regional ephemera, and it's a surprisingly useful way to "age" digital reproductions of old flyers and posters. Looking forward to diving into the ETSU Archives of Appalachia feature next.
