Goldenseal Magazine, produced by the Department of Arts, Culture and History in Charleston, WV, is a publication dedicated to preserving and sharing the traditional life of West Virginia. Through oral history fieldwork and documentary photography, the magazine covers a range of topics including labor history, folklore, music, farming, religion, traditional crafts, food, and politics.
Founded in 1975, Goldenseal Magazine evolved from an earlier publication called Hearth Fair, with a mission to serve as a means of communication for students and enthusiasts of West Virginia's folklife. Named after a medicinal herb native to the region, Goldenseal continues to uphold its original purpose of preserving and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the state.
