Preserving the written record of the mountains, one volume at a time.
Appalachian Press is the publishing division of Appalachian Genealogy & History, created to return the written heritage of the mountains to circulation. Whether a research tool, a family genealogy, or a historical reprint, each volume earns its place by its lasting relevance and its ability to illuminate the lived experience of Appalachian people.
The 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 edited with precision and printed with care, released with the intent of returning knowledge to the communities it came from.
The Press serves researchers, descendants, and readers who seek truth in the record itself. These books carry memory forward, preserved and re-presented so the voices of the mountains keep speaking.
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 surface the cultural and historical forces that shaped the original text. The restoration respects the era it came from while giving researchers, descendants, and readers a reliable view of the past.
Guides for the Appalachian Genealogist
This collection offers practical, well-structured tools built to support serious genealogical and historical research in the Appalachian region. A volume might be a record guide, a locality study, a document primer, or a specialized reference work, but every one of them helps readers navigate the complexities of mountain archives. Clarity and accuracy come first, so each title holds up in the hands of researchers at any 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 draws on verifiable records, oral tradition, and regional context to build a trustworthy account of the people who shaped the mountains, honoring the families it documents and giving descendants a lasting record of identity and place.
