Abstract

Longtime foodways researchers and former editors of Digest, Yvonne R. Lockwood and William G. Lockwood, recently donated their 50-year collection of food and foodways books to the Michigan State University Libraries, Special Collections. The William G. Lockwood and Yvonne R. Lockwood Collection of National, Ethnic, and Regional Foodways consists of some 4,500 books, reflecting the Lockwoods’ ethnographic research and interest as anthropologist and folklorist in ethnic, immigrant, and regional cuisines. The specific strengths of this collection are on Finnish, Chinese, and eastern European—especially Yugoslavian—foodways. Most of the collection is in English; however, many volumes are in the languages of the cuisine described.
