Over 150 half-hour and hour-long programs (more to come as they add the more current ones), capturing “local memory” detailing traditions, events, and life stories of mountain people, will be available to people all over the world for all time. Tagged with Library of Congress labels, the site is set up to easily search for those interviews and stories you wish to hear. Stories of Mountain Folk is the first voice archival series for WCU.
