Documentation

Folklife Program staff members are professionally trained folklorists and actively travel the state to uncover, research, and document Tennessee’s dynamic traditional cultures. We maintain an archive of field documentation, and draw from this material to create a variety of presentations, publications, exhibitions, and media productions.
