Join me, Tim Barnwell, as I continue my lifelong mission to document Appalachian culture, history, and traditions. For over 50 years, I have photographed and recorded the unique people, stories, and landscapes of Appalachia, producing three books: The Face of Appalachia, On Earth’s Furrowed Brow, and Hands in Harmony. Through our YouTube channel, The Face of Appalachia, we bring you authentic Appalachian storytelling, oral histories, and stunning visuals of mountain life. However, creating high-quality documentary-style videos requires significant resources, including professional cameras, drones, audio gear, and editing software. Most importantly, we need to cover the cost of the time-intensive process of editing. Unfortunately, YouTube revenue only covers a fraction of our expenses. That is why we’re asking for your support in preserving Appalachian history by contributing to our GoFundMe. I also have hundreds of hours of rare oral history interviews on old cassette tapes, recorded for my book projects since the 1980s. Many are deteriorating, and I need to send them out to be digitized before they’re lost forever. Your donations to our GoFundMe will help sustain our mission to keep Appalachian heritage alive for future generations. If you love Appalachian culture, American history, or rural storytelling, please subscribe, share, and support our work!
