Chronological List of Publications 1932-1991

Pine Mountain Settlement School and the surrounding Community have been studied, surveyed, and reported on by numerous institutions, individuals and agencies. The accumulated data, extending from 1901 until today, is a rich body of material for scholars, scientists, pundits, and many other researchers.

Photographs also may hold valuable details in a visual report as, for example, does this Album gathered by Katherine Pettit in 1901:

Social Settlement in  Kentucky Mountains SASSAFRAS ALBUM 1901

The SASSAFRAS ALBUM documents the early work at Hindman, Kentucky to establish the school that became the precursor of Pine Mountain Settlement School in Harlan County, Kentucky.

Studies, surveys, reports and photographic collections provide rich fields to plow for researchers.  For those interested in the Central Appalachians, its people, and its land, the Pine Mountain Settlement School Collections provides rich soil. Research material, published by a variety of research scholars is a particularly valuable resource found throughout the collection. While the  material researched for a variety of venues by researchers of varying levels of competency and depth of scholarship must be carefully assessed it remains a unique body of material of both scholarly and the public interest.  The collections reveal studies, surveys, and reports that are disciplined, carefully documented and researched as well as student paper with seeds of research that are just beginning to sprout.  The user of this body of work must do their due diligence to sort out the cursory, sometimes biased, and sometimes slip-shod in writing.  research and verification. Yet, important observations and discoveries may be found in most all the collected work chosen for publication in this web venue. The editors acknowledge that the work was undertaken with conviction and enough diligence to bring it into print.

Some of the material continues to be under copyright and is not published but is acknowledged by citation.   In some cases the author could not be reached for permission and, again, the full document may not be online, The keepers of this extensive archive have made every attempt to determine if the material may be released to the public on this site, but the process is incomplete. If we have violated anyone’s rights, please be in contact with us so we may correct our perhaps over-eager desire to share the material.

Some of the material here is shared with other collections. For example, many of the surveys, studies, and reports came to Pine Mountain Settlement through its deep relationship with Berea College which maintains an official relationship with the Settlement School following an agreement of shared governance after 1949 in which the President of Berea College serves on the Board of Trustees of the School.
