Wheeling WV: Newspaper Clippings (Big Bill Lias) Photocopies

This series consists of correspondence, project reports, transcripts, clippings, and photographs relating to the Klines' 1992-1993 work documenting Wheeling, West Virginia culture, arts, work, and history. 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.
