Folklife Sourcebook: A Directory of Folklife Resources in the United States
The information contained in the Folklife Sourcebook reflects the broad reach of professional folklore and folklife networks and the many allied pursuits and activities involving folklore and folklife studies and programming in the arts and social sciences, public programs, and educational institutions. Because folklife studies have been integrated into a variety of scholarly and public pursuits, the breadth and vitality of the field has sometimes been underestimated or misunderstood. A prominent objective of the first edition in 1986 (prepared by Peter Bartis and Barbara Fertig) was to demonstrate the extent of resources and programs available. Its continuing use by professionals, members of the public, and administrators in government, museums, educational programs and grant-making agencies suggest that it has contributed significantly to the increased public and scholarly participation in and awareness of programs, institutions, and activities linked to cultural conservation.
