Folklore Society

The Folklore Society is an organization dedicated to the study and promotion of folklore—traditional beliefs, stories, customs, music, and practices passed through generations. It brings together researchers, writers, and enthusiasts to document, analyze, and preserve cultural expressions worldwide. By fostering academic research and public awareness, the society helps us understand how communities maintain their identities and values through shared traditions. Founded in 1878, it also publishes journals, hosts events, and supports projects that explore the rich tapestry of human cultural heritage across different societies and historical periods.
