Nevertheless, articles about most places in Pennsylvania, northern Alabama (i.e., Birmingham northward), etc., are Appalachian.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>One important definition of Appalachia is that of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Appalachian Regional Commission<\/a><\/strong>, a Federal agency.\u00a0 Look the ARC&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc.gov\/research\/MapsofAppalachia.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">maps of Appalachia<\/a> to get a sense of how large and diverse the region can be. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arc.gov\/Appalachian_region\/CountiesinAppalachia.asp\">ARC defines Appalachia as a list of counties<\/a>.\u00a0 Find the list here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arc.gov\/counties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.arc.gov\/counties<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Figure out <strong>what sub-region or portion of Appalachia<\/strong> you are researching and use that information to narrow your searches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Search for sources using <strong>other geographic terms<\/strong>, such as the name of the state, counties, cities, geographic sub-regions (e.g., eastern Kentucky or East Tennessee).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Often times \u201cAppalachian\u201d topics are not labelled as Appalachian. For instance, if you are researching the Shawnee people (a Native-American tribe who inhabited the Ohio Valley, West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, etc.), you are researching a deeply Appalachian topic, although it is not identified as such.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>And here are a few starting points:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/muse.jhu.edu\/book\/18635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>High Mountains Rising<\/em><\/a> is a good collection of informed introductory essays.\u00a0 It is available in Project Muse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Many Appalachian states have excellent <strong>online state encyclopedias<\/strong> including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.encyclopediaofalabama.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alabama<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wvencyclopedia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">West Virginia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.encyclopediavirginia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Virginia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tennesseeencyclopedia.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tennessee<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncpedia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">North Carolina<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiaencyclopedia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Georgia<\/a>. Unfortunately, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/j.ctt130htnj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kentucky Encyclopedia<\/a> was created decades ago, is not updated, and (as a result) is mediocre.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Consult the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wvrhc.lib.wvu.edu\/collections\/appalachian-collection\/appalachian-studies-bibliography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Appalachian Studies Bibliography<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, which is maintained by West Virginia University libraries. <a href=\"https:\/\/wvrhc.lib.wvu.edu\/collections\/appalachian-collection\/appalachian-studies-bibliography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.libraries.wvu.edu\/collections\/bibliography\/<\/a>.
