Welcome

“What is folklife? … folklife is often hidden in full view, lodged in the various ways we have of discovering and expressing who we are and how we fit into the world… Folklife is community life and values, artfully expressed in myriad forms and interactions. Universal, diverse, and enduring, it enriches the nation and makes us a commonwealth of cultures.” 

- Mary Hufford, American Folklife: A Commonwealth of Cultures. Washington: American Folklife Center, Library of Congress.
