Description

Looking for documentary and oral history interview sources on the Slovak and Rusyn community in the coal mining community of Brookside in northern Alabama. They established two churches : SS. Cyril and Methodius’ Catholic Church (1896) and St. Nicholas’ Russian Orthodox Church (1894). There was also a lodge (#187) of the Greek Catholic Union (GCU) which had 79 members.
