*** Survey Reminder. Please excuse cross-postings. ***
The National Folklore Archives Initiative (NFAI) is a project of the
American Folklore Society being carried out with funding support from
the National Endowment for the Humanities.
As part of the NFAI project, we are conducting an online survey to
identify archival collections pertaining to folklore and
folklife--especially primary source materials reflecting people and
organizations that practice, document, study or present folk culture
and traditional arts.
Many thanks to everyone who has contributed so far--we really
appreciate your interest and contributions.
If you have not done so yet, we encourage you to participate in the
online survey by the end of Friday, September 7.
