Description

The Joseph Sargent Hall Collection, held by the Archives of Appalachia at East Tennessee State University, focuses primarily on Hall’s research of language and folklore of the people living in the Great Smoky Mountains. The collection spans from 1915-2000, but the bulk of the papers result from Hall’s fieldwork dating from 1937-1941 and include notebooks; notes on index cards; reel-to-reel tape recorded interviews; transcripts; typed manuscripts derived from the interviews; photographs; and slides.

The digital material available here includes the 172 photographs and 219 slides found in Subseries 1D: Photographs and slides, 1916-1995. Digital access to the collection's 146 open reel recordings and the 60 audiocassettes is available here.
