| James Madison Carpenter Collection Project |
|
The AFS is managing a fourth two-year grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities to create a scholarly edition of the
James Madison Carpenter Collection, a groundbreaking collection of folk
music, song, drama, dance, narrative, and children's folklore documented in England,
Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the US between 1927 and 1955. A team of US and UK scholars,
led by Julia Bishop and Ian Russell of the Elphinstone Institute at the University of
Aberdeen in Scotland, is carrying out work on this project in collaboration with the American Folklife Center
at the Library
of Congress, in whose archives the Carpenter
Collection is housed and maintained. The Center's web site includes a guide and finding aid to the Collection, and a catalogue of the Collection is also available online.
