Teacher and Student Projects

Class of stringed instrument playersThe American Folklife Center is involved in ongoing efforts to develop and support programs at all educational levels that examine, analyze, and interpret the traditions, history, and cultural heritage of local communities and share the research results with members of their communities. The Center's involvement with specific projects takes several forms. These include: providing participants a grounding in basic concepts in folklife research; advising on curriculum development and research activities; conducting skills training workshops in audio recording and photography; and teaching student researchers how to preserve and maintain the materials they collect during the course of field and archival research.
