COLLECTION NOTE

This collection features information and documentation about the first annual Kentucky Folklife Festival held from 17-20 September 1998 in Frankfort, Kentucky. The festival was sponsored by the Kentucky Folklife Program, an inter-agency program of the Kentucky Historical Society and the Kentucky Arts Council agencies of the Education, Arts and Humanities Cabinet. The festival also received donations and funding from several local Frankfort businesses as well as Kentucky state government. Due to the overwhelming success of the first Folklife Festival, the Kentucky Folklife Program made an effort to encompass more traditional artisans for the following year. Folklorists throughout the state conducted folklife surveys that identified and documented the cultural traditions of families, occupations, ethnic groups, churches, and communities. At the festival, artisans from all over the state have gathered to prepare food, make music, tell stories, create objects, play games, and do various jobs that reflect their cultural values.
