Mappalachia

After World War II, Berea College created a general studies course called "Man and the Humanities," in which students studied literature, music, and art. One of the first assignments asked students to draw their home community. Mappalachia is a web platform that uses Omeka Classic to share students drawings that depict glimpses of life in the Appalachian region. This is in an effort to make these drawings available to alumni, scholars, and the public.
