This guide is based on the summer 2012 dulcimer exhibit project. The exhibit showed in the main gallery of the Loyal Jones Appalachian Center from August 2012 through July 2013. Student Curatorial Associate Nathan Kouris selected the artifacts, compiled the information, and photographed the artifacts. Student Curatorial Associate Travis Rigg edited the text, added information, and produced this guide in Summer 2013. Student Curatorial Associate Kathryn Dunn completed additional editing in 2015. Christopher Miller was the supervising curator.
