About the American Folklife Class Projects
The collection consists of class projects undertaken by participants in American Folklife courses taught in the English Department, primarily by Professor Burt Feintuch. The projects take the form of investigations of local persons and traditions from a folklife perspective and cover a wide variety of subjects, ranging from studies of regional humor and maple sugaring to the documentation of family inter-generational traditions, local musicians and musical traditions, and analyses of games as folklore. The projects include reports, fieldwork journals, cassette tapes, transcriptions of interviews, and photographs.
