Folklore Resource Site

Aug 2, 2007

A new Web page devoted to folklore resources at the UIUC campus and beyond has just been developed. Find out how to search for folklore material, find "hidden collections" on the campus, and links to regional and national Web sites devoted to folklore. Unsure of what folklore means? Look for explanations on this site. Also linked from this site is an oral history project that captures the excitement of the 1960s Campus Folksong Club. Online audio interviews with former club members and participants are linked from this site, and include mention of campus and community individuals. The content for this Web site and the oral history project was developed by Tracie Wilson, CLIR postdoctoral fellow in folklore.
