Summary: |
This series contains the records compiled by Folklife Bureau staff in researching
and planning for the annual Florida Folk Festival, particularly the folklife
areas that provide a different theme for each year's Folk Festival.
Photographs, slides, audio tapes, field notes, informant information sheets,
and one video tape document fieldwork carried out by Bureau staff, including
identifying, contacting, and interviewing informants and inviting selected
informants to participate as demonstrators or performers at the Folk Festival.
The series also includes proposals for and overviews of folklife area themes;
photographs and slides of events at the Folk Festivals; and drafts of text
and proposed photographic illustrations for the program books distributed
at each Folk Festival.
Folklife themes documented in this series included ethnic
celebrations such as the Jewish observance of Purim, Greek Epiphany, and
Caribbean Carnival; African-American and Anglo-Celtic-American traditions
in Florida; the folklife of transportation, including customs, music, and
crafts associated with saddlemaking, boat building, wheel making, and laying
of railroad tracks; and the folklife of Central Florida.
The 79 audiotapes in this series document informant interviews
with or musical performances by informants gathered during fieldwork or
in performance at the Florida Folk Festival. |
