Bureau
of Florida Folklife Programs record group. |
| Description: |
Legislation of 1979 (79-322, SB 1208) transferred to the
Department of State the Florida Folk Arts component of the
Stephen Foster Memorial and authorized appointment of a Folk
Life Director to oversee the program. The Florida Folk Life
Program was charged to "identify, research, and develop Florida
folk artists, performers, folklore, traditions, customs, and
cultural heritage and make folk art resources, festivals,
and folk life projects available throughout the state." The
office was known as the Bureau of Florida Folklife Programs
from ca. 1985 until it was re-organized in 1995. The bureau
operated under the Division of Historical Resources, coordinating
the annual Florida Folk Festival and directing such programs
as Folk Arts Apprenticeships, Folk Arts in Education, Folk
Heritage awards, and numerous research and collecting projects
and programs. Today the Florida Folklife Program continues
to implement most research, documentation, and presentation
of Florida Folklife.
Part of the Bureau of Florida Folklife Programs was the Florida
Folklife Archive, originally established in 1976 and maintained
by the bureau as a depository for field notes and research
findings of the folklife program and for the folklife collections
of other researchers.
