North Carolina Folklore Society records, 1912-1999 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26041081

Reports of council meetings and annual meetings, treasurers' records, correspondence, and other records of the North Carolina Folklore Society. For 1912-1938, records of council meetings and annual meetings are almost complete. There is, however, little financial information and no correspondence from before 1926. Treasurer's records and reports of annual meetings are complete for the years of Arthur Palmer Hudson's secretary-treasurership, 1943-1964, but reports of council meetings are sporadic, and there is little correspondence for this period. Documentation, 1964-1976, is primarily limited to correspondence concerning publication of "North Carolina Folklore" and to amendments to the Society's constitution in 1970. Additional material received in October 2001 primarily contains programs and minutes of annual meetings, 1964-1996; financial records, 1976-1997; and applications and reports, 1968-1994, for grants received by the Society from the North Carolina Arts Council. Also included are some files about the history of the Society, the "North Carolina Folklore Journal," awards given by the Society, and other activities of the Society.
