Preserving the written record of the mountains, one volume at a time.
Appalachian Press is the publishing division of Appalachian Genealogy, created to return the written heritage of the mountains to circulation. Each volume, whether a research tool, a family genealogy, or a historical reprint, is chosen for its enduring relevance and its ability to illuminate the lived experience of Appalachian people.
Our catalog includes annotated editions of rare regional histories, curated genealogical compilations, and newly commissioned works that expand the understanding of Appalachian life. Every publication is treated as both scholarship and stewardship, edited with precision, printed with care, and released with the intention of returning knowledge to the communities from which it came.
The Press serves researchers, descendants, and readers who seek truth in the record itself. These are not just books. They are artifacts of memory, preserved and re-presented so that the voices of the mountains continue to speak.
Restored Works from the Mountain Record
This series brings forward historical publications that have entered the public domain but remain essential to understanding Appalachian life. Each volume is carefully annotated to clarify context, correct long-standing errors, and illuminate the cultural and historical forces that shaped the original text. These works are restored with respect for their era and presented as reliable tools for researchers, descendants, and readers who seek an accurate view of the past.
Guides for the Appalachian Genealogist
This collection provides practical, well-structured tools designed to support serious genealogical and historical research in the Appalachian region. Volumes may include record guides, locality studies, document primers, and specialized reference works that help readers navigate the complexities of mountain archives. Each title is built for clarity, accuracy, and long-term usefulness in the hands of researchers at every level.
Documenting the Lineages of the Mountains
This series preserves the stories of Appalachian families through carefully compiled genealogies, lineage narratives, and community-rooted histories. Each book is constructed from verifiable records, oral tradition, and regional context, creating a clear and trustworthy account of the people who shaped the mountains. These works honor the families they document and provide descendants with a lasting record of identity and place.
