Blessing of the Water for the Dead
- Date
- 1989-06-24
- Description
- Twenty color slides. The festival was held June 24-25, 1989 to celebrate Tarpon Springs heritage of sponge diving, a practice that dated back to the 1890s. By 1905, when 500 Greek immigrants answered an ad to be sponge divers, the town acquired a distinctive Greek flavor, as the Greek Americans thrived in the sponge industry. At one point, Florida provided 95% of the nation's sponges. Although today over fishing and synthetic materials have undercut the sponge diving industry, the tradition lives on in Greek families, and through tourism.

Interview with Harriet Pepps
- Date
- 1984-07-30
- Description
- One audio cassette. Pepps discusses Jacksonville's Greek community; the Greek Orthodox Church; her family background; Greek schools; marriages; St. John the Divine Greek Orthodox Church and its religious traditions, holy bread, church services, and its congregation. 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.

Maria Gomez interview
- Date
- 1985-03-07
- Description
- Interview with Maria Gomez in her home. She discusses Mexican American culture, including religion, ceremonies, foodways, growing up in Mexico, Catholicism, dating, weddings, and life in Florida. The interview is in Spanish. Her children can be heard at times. For images of the interview, see S 1577, v. 27, slides 1516-1532. In winter 1985, the Bureau joined with two folklorists to conduct a folk arts survey of the St. Johns River basin in northeastern Florida. The St. Johns River is the largest and most used river in Florida, supporting much river commerce as well as a modest amount of commercial fishing. Folklorists Mary Anne McDonald and Kathleen Figgen conducted the survey from January through March 1985 under the direction of Folklife Coordinator Blanton Owen and Bureau Chief Ormond Loomis. Documentation compiled in the survey was used to prepare and present the 'St. Johns River Basin Folklife Area' at the 1985 Florida Folk Festival.
