Folklife Sourcebook: A Directory of Folklife Resources in the United
States
Societies
State, local, and regionally oriented societies have historically played
a major role in support of folklife studies, cultural conservation, and
the perpetuation and presentation of traditional culture--particularly
music, dance, and storytelling genres. In addition to the large number
of societies with general public membership, there are also professional
societies characterized by their interests in scholarly research and writing.
Many of the societies listed below have serial publications ranging from
newsletters to journals. Because of the nature of membership organizations,
the addresses provided are subject to change with the election of new society
officers.
