DARE - Dictionary of American Regional English

http://polyglot.lss.wisc.edu/dare/dare.html

Website of the Dictionary that serves as a reference for dialects in the United States and whose data is related to many studies in the area. Its recorded interviews are available on the site of the University of Pennsylvania, National Map, linked above. The dictionary also used written materials to illustrate how words have been used from the seventeenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century. It provides pronunciation, etymology, social and regional distribution. Four of its volumes have been published and two others are being prepared. The only problem is that the Dictionary is not available for free consultation, it has to be purchased.
