folklore preservation organizations

Folklore preservation organizations are groups dedicated to safeguarding and promoting traditional stories, customs, music, crafts, and cultural practices of a community or region. They work to document oral histories, support cultural events, and ensure these traditions are passed down to future generations. By doing so, they help maintain cultural diversity, strengthen community identity, and prevent the loss of unique heritage. These organizations often collaborate with local communities, museums, and researchers to keep folklore alive and accessible for both residents and visitors.
