The collection consists of videotapes, manuscript materials, and slides. The manuscript materials, in one folder, consist of a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) grant proposal, rough drafts of that proposal, and notes for a documentary about E. C. and Orna Ball, old-time country music performers of Rugby, Va., dated Oct. 20, 1967, and Oct. 1976. Four videos contain recordings of E. C. and Orna Ball performing traditional religious and secular folk songs and talking about their lives with interviewer Francine Nave. One tape contains a 30-min. performance in Mountain City, Tenn. by the song and comedy duo Lynn and Morris. Eight videotapes are recordings of interviews with Willard and Ora Watson of Deep Gap, N.C., in which Willard Watson talks about making toys and Ora Watson talks about farming, bee keeping, gathering roots and herbs, raising children, and quilting. The Watson interviews were conducted by Francine Nave, with camera work by Larry Nave. The slides, in one folder, depict E. C. and Orna Ball, along with Richard Blaustein of East Tennessee State University, at the August 1975 Mountain City (Tenn.) Fiddlers Convention.
