AAA (American Anthropological Association) Publication Style Guide
AAA uses The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition, 2003) and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (11th edition, 2006). This guide is an outline of style rules basic to our journal editing. Where no rule is present in this guide, follow Chicago. In Webster’s, use the first spelling if there is a choice and use American (rather than British) spellings. This guide does not apply to newsletters, which deviate frequently from these guidelines in the interest of space and tend to follow many Associated Press style rules.
Anthropologists work in many parts of the world in close personal association with the peoples and situations they study. Their professional situation is, therefore, uniquely varied and complex. They are involved with their discipline, their colleagues, their students, their sponsors, their subjects, their own and host governments, the particular individuals and groups with whom they do their fieldwork, other populations and interest groups in the nations within which they work, and the study of processes and issues affecting general human welfare. In a field of such complex involvements, misunderstandings, conflicts, and the necessity to make choices among conflicting values are bound to arise and to generate ethical dilemmas. It is a prime responsibility of anthropologists to anticipate these and to plan to resolve them in such a way as to do damage neither to those whom they study nor, insofar as possible, to their scholarly community.

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.
