Report on the Folk Music Archive of Tennessee Folksongs at Morehead State College, Morehead, Kentucky

Abstract

In 1949, as a portion of the preparation for writing my dissertation at George Peabody College for Teachers, Nashville, Tennessee, I began collecting folksongs in Tennessee. An article of mine that appeared in the June, 1959, issue of the Tennessee Folklore Society Bulletin (" Progress Report: Collection of Tennessee Folksongs in Recent years," pp. 31-79) gives a good idea of the contents of the collection.
