Repository: Berea College Special Collections and Archives Catalog
Access Restrictions: The collection can be accessed through the Reading Room, Berea College Special Collections and Archives, Hutchins Library, Berea College. Some portions of the collection are restricted from research use. Those materials are marked in the inventory.
Use Restrictions:
The Donors retain all copyrights and intellectual property rights pertaining to the Materials for a period not to exceed 30 years. The donors grant to the College permission to use the materials for research or non-commercial purposes. Any commercial use must have the permission of the donors. On or before January 1, 2047, all copyrights and intellectual property rights pertaining to the materials will transfer to the college as an integral part of this gift.
This collection includes materials that were created as “work for hire” and copyright for those materials may be held by other entities.
Copies made for commercial broadcast or publication require the permission of the donor until January 1, 2047. After that time, they will require the permission of the Berea College Special Collections and Archives.
In addition, Michael and Carrie Nobel Kline worked to validate and dignify the voices of those they documented. The spoken testimonials from southern mountain people historically have little overlap with most written accounts about them by missionaries, sociologists, regional planners and feature writers, whose stereotyping and assumptions often work against progressive human development in the region. In contrast, the material in this collection is meant to be used to affirm the diverse experiences of all who are documented within it.
Utilization of the materials from the Collection require careful consideration and respect towards all the people whose voices and images may be used. Commercial users must make a good faith effort to contact the interviewee for permission to use their recorded voices and images before including them in any production or written materials.

This series consists of original cassettes, DAT, and video interview, event and radio program recordings. They resulted as part of the Klines' 1994-1995 work documenting Wheeling, West Virginia culture, arts, work, and history in connection with the establisment of the Wheeling National Heritage Area by the National Park Service.
One hundred sixty interviews were conducted representing neighborhoods, religious congregations, downtown businesses, factories, breweries, mills, mines, ethnic social clubs, singing societies, jazz bands and old Wheeling Jamboree radio musicians. The interviews were drawn upon to produce thirty-three Wheeling News Register newspaper features and a twenty-two part radio series, Talking Across the Lines, broadcast on station WWVA.
This preservation and access effort is the result of a collaboration between the Ohio County, West Virginia Public Library and the Department of Special Collections and Archives of Berea College’s Hutchins Library.
Digital preservation of these interviews was made possible by a Recordings-At-Risk grant from the Council On Library and Information Resources (CLIR). The CLIR grant program is made possible by funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
