Motivation edit
Alabama Authors online catalog is maintained by the Alabama Library Association (ALLA) and hosted by the University of Alabama. It includes bibliographic and biographic information about authors who have a connection to Alabama, its history, or its culture. The editorial committee's stated goal is "to include even very obscure authors and those who have written only a small number of titles." The online version of the catalog appears to include a selection of notable authors (1,500–2,000), and does not yet include all authors found in ALLA's file at the UA Library.

Discussion edit
- Support, But this proposal is not complete. An item should be created for the Alabama Authors website, and that item should then be included in this proposal for Wikidata item for this property (Represents) and applicable 'stated in' value. AdamSeattle (talk) 00:39, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- I wouldn't know where to start. Are you able to help? Thosbsamsgom (talk) 23:36, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
