This monograph represents a massive effort to assemble printed works of regional materials held by Appalachian Consortium members at various institutions in the Appalachia region. The five libraries contributing to the effort formed a committee to formalize and catalogue their research which resulted in the 13,000 entry bibliographic compendium which had grown from a small, local record of several hundred entries. The material has been selectively annotated by Charlotte T. Ross as well as cross referenced with other sources by members of the library committee. At the time of its publication, this work represented the largest bibliography on the region replacing the once authoritative Weatherford-Hammond Mountain Collection housed at Berea College in Kentucky.
