''Archives in Appalachia: A Directory.''Boone, North Carolina: Appalachian Consortium Press, 1985. (Family History Library book 975 A3a.)

The record is arranged alphabetically by state, then by the name of the repository. Each entry lists the archive, its address, phone number, inclusive dates of the collection, the records of the collection, what subjects are covered by the collection, and the size of the collection. There are two indexes: Record type, and Subject, with reference numbers corresponding to the repository. Also included is a list, under “Coming Attractions,” of agencies that do not currently collect manuscript materials but plan to do so in the future. | ''Archives in Appalachia: A Directory.''Boone, North Carolina: Appalachian Consortium Press, 1985.
