Special Collections at Appalachian State University is continuing the blog tradition of our former “Backlog Blog” with a new blog that will tell stories from all of our collecting areas: W.L. Eury Appalachian Collection, University Archives, Stock Car Racing Collection, and Rare Books and Manuscripts. We also will include highlights from the work we do and from multiple viewpoints — from our staff, to student assistants, to researchers. We look forward to informing and delighting our blog-reading audience! Please join us as we take flight in this new endeavor.
