Summary

The Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities was established to maintain a continuing study of the cultural resources of the Commonwealth. During 1987, the council, in cooperaton with the Smithsonian Institution's Office of Folklife Programs, conducted fieldwork to identify and locate traditional folk artists from massachsuetts to participate in the 22nd annual Festival of American Folklife, held on the grounds of the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., July 1988. In documenting interviews in the areas of traditional narrative, occupational folklife, foodways, and traditional music, folklorists created interview tapes.

Audiocassettes are recordings of interviews with folk artists, and contain information about the ethnic heritage of the interview subject, the history and method of the folkway being documented, recipes, songs, legends, and related information. Massachusetts folklife interview files were created in conjunction with this series.
