Folklife Archive

A Folklife Archive is a collection that preserves and documents the traditions, stories, and practices of various cultural groups. It includes materials like oral histories, photographs, videos, and artifacts that reflect a community's identity, beliefs, and way of life. Researchers, historians, and the public use these archives to study cultural heritage, understand social dynamics, and celebrate diversity. By archiving folklore, these collections help ensure that important cultural expressions are not forgotten and can be shared with future generations.
