Welcome!

The American Folklore Society website connects the Society to its members, and also connects folklorists to each other and to the world at large:

About AFS describes the Society and its activities, including the annual meeting, publications, and special-interest Sections.
Member Services provides tools for joining and renewing, and accessing member privileges.
The Folklore Commons contains the resources that all registered users -- AFS members and non-members alike -- can generate and share: the Calendar, Career Center, Open Forums, and the Folklore Wiki, a knowledge base of information relevant to the field. Share news, views, and queries in the The AFS Review.
