Appalachian Farm Photographs, 1979

Title

Description

The Appalachian Farm Photographs, held by the Archives of Appalachia at East Tennesse State University, consist of featured work by six local photographers: Jack Schrader, Bill Blanton, John Anderson, Earl Carter, Kenneth Murray, and Craigie Hemenway. The project was funded by a Tennessee Committee for the Humanities grant. The photographs were displayed in conjunction with “The American Farm: A Photographic History” exhibit in 1979.

Images included in this collection document the original photographs displayed in the "Appalachian Farm" section of a larger exhibit. The subject matter covers various people and aspects of their lives in rural Appalachia. The hanging originals were photographed. The resulting negatives were then used to make the 3.5 by 2 inch prints which comprise this collection.

The current digital collection contains digital surrogates of the collection's 62 prints. Photographs may be duplicated and displayed for educational and research use only. Permission to duplicate, publish, or display for commercial purposes must be secured from the photographers or their estates. The archives does not have contact information for the photographers.
