SUMMARY:State and Local History Resources at the American Folklife Center
DESCRIPTION:Join staff members of the American Folklife Center (AFC) at the Library of Congress for a free virtual tour of its resources\, activities\, and research opportunities as well as guidance on how to access\, explore and utilize its vast archival collection\, much of it now available online. \nThe American Folklife Center offers an abundance of valuable resources for state and local historians. With more than 8 million items and 3\,500 collections in its archive\, the AFC is the world’s foremost repository for documentary materials on local\, state\, and regional cultural traditions\, both historic and contemporary. Its collections document traditional culture in the United States and throughout the world. \nOriginally founded at the Library in 1928\, since 1976 the AFC has been charged by Congress to “preserve and present” folklife and traditional culture in all its diversity. Over the years the Center’s staff have coordinated and conducted large scale fieldwork projects\, produced rich public programs\, supported training for researchers and fieldworkers\, provided robust reference services\, and built a significant multiformat archive that holds cultural documentation of lived human experience from around the world. \nThis webinar includes an overview of AFC holdings; introduces relevant Research Guides and approaches to research; features a short walk-through demonstrating how to use and navigate AFC online resources; and touches on related issues such as copyrights\, citing/crediting Library materials; making research appointments (online and in person); and AFC awards\, internships\, and research opportunities.
