Since 2009, the American Folklore Society has supported consultancies and professional development opportunities for public folklorists that have led to the creation of best-practice reports on some aspect of public folklore work (including research, documentation, archiving, presentation, education, public programming, web development, new media, and organizational planning and sustainability), and of case studies of various public folklore projects. Funding from the Folk and Traditional Arts Program of the National Endowment for the Arts has made this project possible.

Intangible culture heritage (ICH) is now a priority for national cultural policies as a result of UNESCO’s 2003 convention for safeguarding ICH. Following from the mandates of the convention, folk culture is extensively inventoried, academic “experts” are called to advise on policy and community involvement in ICH safeguarding is emphasized. Heritage was a principal topic at the 2013 biennial Congress of the International Society for Ethnology and Folklore (SIEF) held in July at the University of Tartu, Estonia. Scores of presentations critically analyzed the consequences of intervention, recontextualizations and transformations of traditions, government policy, mediation and community self-determination. While all of these issues have been confronted by American public folklore for decades, public folklore scholarship and practice is absent from ICH discourse, in Europe as elsewhere. At the same time, American public folklorists have little awareness of European ICH initiatives and scholarship. As an American public folklorist, I was engrossed and intellectually energized by presentations at the SIEF Congress which described heritage case studies from throughout Europe, critically assessed national ICH policies, and engaged in critical reflexivity about the roles of scholars in heritage projects.
