Primarily life histories, folkways, legends, and other items written and collected by workers of the Federal Writers' Project of North Carolina, 1938-1941, with accompanying administrative material, including instructions to writers.

Ferree collected this material in the course of his work as a research editor with the Federal Writers' Project in Raleigh, N.C.
