Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia.
This collection contains motion pictures related to West Virginia and the greater Appalachian region. Mediums include news
footage, documentary films, industrials and West Virginia University footage.
Although a single collection, this audiovisual content was acquired from a variety of sources, such as the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, WVU-TV, Appalachian Film, and Monongalia County. Subjects include WVU sporting events, the coal mining industry
and Appalachian culture, such as crafts, folk music and parades.
Collection highlights include WVU football games from as early as 1941, a 1918 World War I victory parade addended by future
presidential nominee John W. Davis, and the First Annual Appalachian People's Music Fair of 1970.
A list of the digitized films is available in the digital object attached to this collection ("Films from the Motion Picture
Collection").
A more detailed contents list for this collection is also available upon request. Additional information includes film base,
type of sound, film width, and in some cases notes explaining why a film has multiple reels.
The collection remains arranged as it was found in the early 2020s during inventory review, and does not seem to indicate
any original order. Some films include multiple reels. This may indicate one of the following: duplicate copies of the same film (either genuine duplicates or similar copies, such as one color film without sound and one
black and white film with sound), one film that was long enough to be broken into parts (e.g., parts 1 and 2), or a film that has multiple reels for multiple aspects (e.g., an optical reel and a sound reel).
Explores the economics and power politics of the coal industry and how they pervade the state of WV and affect the lives of
the people.
