Appalachian Studies & Resources

This guide provides an overview of Appalachian studies related collections and resources held in the Mahn Center for Archives & Special Collections as well as in the broader Ohio University Libraries Collections.

Online Catalogs

Because Appalachian Studies is very diverse and interdisciplinary, there is no one (or two or three) places where the majority of books will be found.

Start your search with our ALICE Catalog, below. Use OhioLINK and WorldCat, if needed, to get books from other libraries.
