Abstract:
In March 2006, the W. L. Eury Appalachian Collection at Appalachian State University's Carol Grotnes Belk Library and Information Commons began a project for the purpose of\r\ndigitizing the folksong collections of two former university icons, Dr. Isaac Garfield (I. G. or \"Ike\") Greer (1881-1967) and Dr. William Amos (\"Doc\") Abrams (1905-1991). The project was entitled \"So Mote It Ever Be: The Folksong Heritage of North Carolina's Northern Blue\r\nRidge Mountains.\" The process would entail scanning each unique textual document in these collections (using North Carolina Exploring Cultural Heritage Online [NC-ECHO] guidelines), transcribing the texts in plain text word processing format, digitally recording the analog field recordings, and compiling metadata for these items\r\n(such as informants, geographic associations, and scholarly classification schemes).
