A Million Memory Project imprint
Appalachian Memory Project
Appalachian Memory Project helps communities in Appalachia preserve their own history.
Oral histories, family photographs, and local traditions: the stories that make a place deserve to be kept.
What gets lost
Every community holds knowledge that cannot be replaced.
When stories disappear, so do the details of daily life: local traditions, faith communities, farming practices, music, schools, and businesses. Appalachian Memory Project helps communities record and keep their own history.
