Folklife Sourcebook: A Directory of Folklife Resources in the United States

Directories

To supplement this directory, readers may wish to consult a number of other guides to general and specific topics or networks. The comprehensive and readily available Directory of Directories (listed below) provides ample content analysis and includes price and ordering information. Other directories are general resources for the folklife field. Covering a broad range of topics and organizations, they reflect the breadth of subject matter, activities, and considerations that engage folklorists and other workers in the public and academic sectors. Such directories provide data ranging from addresses and operational information for museums, federal agencies, and state organizations to listings of private foundations and funding resources. Directory sections are also frequently included in many serial publications such as Folk Alliance, Dulcimer Player News, Living Blues, and the Newsletter of the North Carolina Folklore Society.
