The University of Arizona Folklore Archive

Abstract

The University of Arizona Folklore Archive was set up in 1945 to take care of the state-wide collection being sponsored by the newly appointed Interdepartmental Faculty Folklore Committee. Nearly all the material is from Arizona, with some recent extension to Sonora, Mexico, in the hope that the University of Sonora will become interested in cooperation with the University of Arizona in recording Mexican folk culture of interest to folklorists on both sides of the border.
