- Date

- Description
- Thirty-seven color slides. Demonstration at Stockton Elementary School. Origami is the Japanese art of paperfolding to create sculptures and symbolic shapes. The Folk Arts in Education Project in Duval County was a joint venture between the Duval County School System and the Florida Folklife Program. It was started in 1984 by folklorist David Taylor with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts to add to existing social studies curricula. The project consisted of field research to identify local traditions and folk artists, a series of five two-day seminars to acquaint teachers with the use of folklore and folk arts, and in-school programs conducted by a folklorist and traditionalist which included visits by local folk artists. Taylor ran it until 1986. In 1988, Gregory Hansen re-initiated it with minor changes.

- Description
- 127 color slides. Images of the Herrin brothers (Charles, Donald, and Thomas) shrimping in the Atlantic Ocean on the Miss Joann, a shrimp boat. The Herrins were based out of Mayport, Florida. For an interview with Charles Herrin, see S 1592, box 7, tapes 13-14.

The three main researchers were Nancy Nusz, Merri Belland, and project director David Taylor. Additional information on the project can be found in Taylor's project files in S 1716.
