Abstract
Finding aid only for Folklife Archives Project 753. Western Kentucky University’s Department of Folk Studies and Anthropology received a grant from the Laura Goad Turner Charitable Foundation in the summer of 2011 to conduct an oral history and folklife survey of Allen County, Kentucky over several years. Using recorded interviews, photography, and videography, graduate and undergraduate students in the department documented a broad range of historical and cultural themes in Allen County. Students complete the fieldwork as part of their coursework in courses including Folklore Fieldwork, Cultural Conservation, Vernacular Architecture, and Field Methods in Ethnography. The resulting archival material consists of interviews with individuals, and documentations of people, places, and events in Allen County. The contents of this collection are mostly digital files with copies on a hard drive. Each project has its own folder.
