Summary: |
This series consists of audio recordings of performances
by or interviews with folk musicians, craftspersons, storytellers, and folklife
interpreters. Included are reel-to-reel, audio cassette, and digital
audio tape (DAT) formats. Most of the recordings document performances
by national and local folk personalities at the annual Florida Folk Festival
from 1954 to 1995. In addition, there are a small number of reproductions
of Works Progress Administration (WPA) folklore field recordings from the1930s
and early 1940s, including recordings collected by Zora Neale Hurston on
which her voice can be heard both speaking and singing. Together, the recordings
document such areas as children's lore, foodways, religious traditions,
Seminole culture, maritime traditions, ethnic folk culture, material culture,
and occupational lore.
