- Date

- Description
- Seven color slides. The Folk Arts in Education Project in Palm Beach County was a joint venture between the Palm Beach County School System and the Florida Folklife Program. It was conducted between 1986 and 1987 by folklorist Jan Rosenberg with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts to add to existing social studies curriculum. The goal was to impart an appreciation of multi-ethnic traditions and provide a sense of place to the mobile student population. The project focused on the Florida Studies component for fourth grade students. 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, in-school programs conducted by a folklorist and traditionalist, which included visits by local folk artists. In total, the project involved 15 schools with 779 students.

- Date
- 1984
- Description
- One proof sheet with twenty-seven images plus negatives. George (Junior) Mills showing Owen the site of the Seminole annual Green Corn Dance near the El Maximo Ranch. Chickees (traditional Seminole dwellings) are visible. Images created as fieldwork for the apprenticeship program. The Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program began in 1983 with a NEA grant of $22,000. The program provided an opportunity for master folk artists to share technical skills and cultural knowledge with apprentices in order to keep the tradition alive. Apprentices must have had some experience in the tradition and agreed to train for at least six months. The first project director was Blanton Owen, who was later replaced by folklorist Peter Roller. The program was continued each year through 2003.

Tropic Cuban Tile Company
- Date
- 1987-09
- Description
- Sixteen color slides. Images of the Tropic Cuban Tile Company, their tiles, truck, and employees. The company was owned by H. Borroto, a Cuban American who moved to Miami in 1949. At the time, his company, along with La Cubana, were the only Cuban floor tile companies left in Miami. These tiles were of cement because clay was not found in South Florida. These styles of floor tiles were popular throughout Latin America. The Florida Folk Arts Survey was conducted in 1987 by folklorists Tina Bucuvalis, Steve Fragos, Merri Belland, and Barbara Seitz as preliminary research for a joint folk art between the Florida Folklife Program and the Florida Museum of History. The field researchers focused on those areas previously overlooked by FFP staff. The research focused on identifying folk artists and locating appropriate exhibit objects.
