Immediate Source of Acquisition

The Westminster College Student Folklore Collection is comprised of folklore projects created by Westminster College students enrolled in Professor David Stanley's folklore courses from 1992 to 2003. Because Westminster College lacks a Folklore Archive, in 2009 Professor Stanley donated the student projects to Utah State University to be housed in the Fife Folklore Archives
