Appalachian Oral History Project Interviews
Description
An account of the resource
In 1973, representatives from Appalachian State University (ASU) began the process of collecting interviews from Watauga, Avery, Ashe, and Caldwell county citizens to learn about their respective lives and gather stories. From the outset of the project, the interviewers knew that they were reaching out to the “last generation of Appalachian residents to reach maturity before the advent of radio, the last generation to maintain an oral tradition.” The goal was to create a wealth of data for historians, folklorists, musicians, sociologists, and anthropologists interested in the Appalachian Region.
The project was known as the “Appalachian Oral History Project” (AOHP), and developed in a consortium with Alice Lloyd College and Lees Junior College (now Hazard County Community College) both in Kentucky, Emory and Henry College in Virginia, and ASU. Predominately funded through the National Endowment for the Humanities, the four schools by 1977 had amassed approximately 3,000 interviews. Each institution had its own director and staff. Most of the interviewers were students.
Outgrowths of the project included the Mountain Memories newsletter that shared the stories collected, an advisory council, a Union Catalog, photographs collected, transcripts on microfilm, and the book Our Appalachia. Out of the 3,000 interviews between the three schools, only 663 transcripts were selected to be microfilmed. In 1978, two reels of microfilm were made available with 96 transcripts contributed by ASU.
An annotated index referred to as The Appalachian Oral History Project Union Catalog was created to accompany the microfilm. The catalog is broken down into five sections starting with a subject topic index such as Civilian Conservation Corps, Coal Camps, Churches, etc. The next four sections introduced the interviewees by respective school. There was an attempt to include basic biographic information such as date of birth, location, interviewer name, length of interview, and subjects discussed. However, this information was not always consistent per school.
This online project features clips from the interviews, complete transcripts, and photographs. The quality and consistency of the interviews vary due to the fact that they were done largely by students. Most of the photos are missing dates and identifying information.

ALLEN'S HUMMING BIRD.
E Humming birds with their varied beauties constitute the most remarkable
feature of the bird-life of America. They have absolutely no representatives
in any other part of the world, the Swifts being the nearest relatives they
have in other countries.
They abound most in mountainous countries, where the surface and productions
of the soil are most diversified within small areas. They frequent both open and
rare and inaccessible places, and are often found on the snowy peaks of Chimborazo
as high as 16,000 feet, and in the very lowest valleys in the primeval forests of Brazil, the vast palm-covered districts of the deltas of the Amazon and Orinocco, the
fertile flats and Savannahs of Demarra, the luxurious and beautiful region Xalapa,
(the realm of perpetual sunshine), and other parts of Mexico.
Hr.mming birds are found as small as a bumble bee and as large as a sparrow.
The smallest is from Jamaica, the largest from Patagonia. Allen's Hummer is
found on the Pacific coast, north to British Columbia, east to Southern Arizona.
There are many birds the flight of which is so rapid that their wings cannot
be counted, but here is a species with such nerve of wing that its wing strokes cannot be seen — a hazy semi-circle of indistinctness on each side of the bird is all that
is perceptible. Poised in the air, his body nearly perpendicular, he seems to hang
in front of the flowers which he probes so hurriedly, one after the other, with his
long, slender bill ! That long, tubular, fork-shaped tongue may be sucking up the
nectar from those rather small cylindrical blossoms, or it may be capturing tiny
insects housed away there. Much more like a large sphynx moth hovering and
humming over the flowers in dusky twilight, than like a bird appears this delicate,
fairy-like beauty. How the bright green of the body gleams and glistens in the
sunlight.
Each imperceptable stroke of those tiny wings conforms to the laws of
flight with an ease and gracefulness that seems spiritual. Who can fail to note that
fine adjustment of the organs of flight to aerial elasticity and gravitation, by which
that astonishing bit of nervous energy can rise and fall almost on the perpendicular,
dart from side to side, as if by magic, or, assuming the horizontal position, pass out
of sight like a shooting star.
" What heavenly tints in mingling radiance fly,
Each rapid movement gives a different dye ;
Like scales of burnished gold they dazzling show,
Now sinks to shade, now like a furnace glow."

�ALLEN'S HUMMING BIRD.
'HE Humming birds with their varied beauties constitute the most remarkable
feature of the bird-life of America. They have absolutely no representatives
in any other part of the world, the Swifts being the nearest relatives they
have in other countries.
They abound most in mountainous countries, where the .surface and productions
of the soil are most diversified within small areas. They frequent both open and
rare and inaccessible places, and are often found on the snowy peaks of Chimborazo
as high as 16,000 feet, and in the very lowest valleys in the primeval forests of Brazil, the vast palm-covered districts of the deltas of the Amazon and Orinocco, the
fertile flats and Savannahs of Demarra, the luxurious and beautiful region Xalapa,
(the realm of perpetual sunshine), and other parts of Mexico.
Humming birds are found as small as a bumble bee and as large as a sparrow.
The smallest is from Jamaica, the largest from Patagonia. Allen's Hummer is
found on the Pacific coast, north to British Columbia, east to Southern Arizona.
There are many birds the flight of which is so rapid that their wings cannot
be counted, but here is a species with such nerve of wing that its wing strokes cannot be seen —a hazy semi-circle of indistinctness on each side of the bird is al.1 that
is perceptible. Poised in the air, his body nearly perpendicular, he seems to hang
in front of the flowers which he probes so hurriedly, one after the other, with his
long, slender bill ! That long, tubular, fork-shaped tongue may be sucking up the
nectar from those rather small cylindrical blossoms, or it may be capturing tiny
insects housed away there. Much more like a large sphynx moth hovering and
humming over the flowers in dusky twilight, than like a bird appears this delicate,
fairy-like beauty. How the bright green of the body gleams and glistens in the
sunlight. Each imperceptable stroke of those tiny wings conforms to the laws of
flight with an ease and gracefulness that seems spiritual. Who can fail to note that
fine adjustment of the organs of flight to aerial elasticity and gravitation, by which
that astonishing bit of nervous energy can rise and fall almost on the perpendicular,
dart from side to side, as if by magic, or, assuming the horizontal position, pass out
of sight like a shooting star.
" What heavenly tints in mingling radiance fly,
Each rapid movement gives a different dye ;
Like scales of burnished gold they dazxling show,
Now sinks to shade, now like a furnace glow."

Title
A name given to the resource
Reverend J. Norton Atkins Selected Photographs
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This digital collection contains seven images from the photograph series of The Reverend J. Norton Atkins Papers. The photographs in this collection were taken by Reverend Atkins, an amateur photographer, during his time in Ashe and Watauga Counties in North Carolina.</p>
<p>The Reverend J. Norton Atkins Papers are a collection of Rev. Atkins' correspondence, sermons, mission records, and photographs generated while he was an Episcopal priest and teacher in Ashe and Watauga Counties. John Norton Atkins was born in August 4, 1881 to George Washington Ely Atkins and Mary Chew Atkins in Bayonne, New Jersey. His father was a vice president of Western Union.</p>
<p>In the letters, he was called both Norton and "Tommy", possibly after the British soldier nickname, "Tommy Atkins." Rev. Atkins studied at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee for three years (1898-1901) before finishing his undergraduate education at Columbia College (later Columbia University) in New York in 1902. He was a teacher at the Valle Crucis Mission School from November 1902 to June 1904.</p>
<p>From 1904 to 1907, Rev. Atkins attended General Theological Seminary in New York and spent the summers in Valle Crucis Associate Missions. He was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Junius M. Horner on December 22, 1907 at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Gastonia, North Carolina. Rev. Atkins worked as a mission priest in Ashe and Watauga Counties from 1907 to 1919.</p>
<p>In 1910, Rev. Atkins worked as the priest in charge at Christ School of Arden, where he met his future wife, Katharine Moran of Wisconsin. He and Moran married on December 31, 1913 in the Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross in Tryon, North Carolina. They had four children: Mary Katharine (b. 6 April 1915, d. 16 Nov 1984), Joseph Addison (b. 19 June 1917, d. 25 April 2000), John Jr. (b. 6 January 1919, d. 30 June 1994), and George Albert (b. 1 March 1920, d. 18 February 2009). Rev. Atkins died on September 11, 1962 in Blowing Rock Hospital in Blowing Rock, NC. He and his wife are buried at Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Valle Crucis, NC.</p>
