Association for the Preservation of the Eno River Valley collection, 1985-2016

https://finding-aids.lib.unc.edu/20415/

The Association for the Preservation of the Eno River Valley (commonly known as the Eno River Association) is a non-profit conservation organization whose mission is to conserve and protect the natural, cultural, and historic resources of North Carolina's Eno River basin. Since its inception in 1965, the Association has worked to protect the environmental resources around the river and its tributaries, promoting education and advocacy through environmental and community programs, including a hike series and the long-running annual Festival for the Eno. The collection consists primarily of audio recordings, including interviews, live performances, radio broadcasts, and audition tapes related to the Association for the Preservation of the Eno River Valley and their annual Festival for the Eno. Conducted by Dave Cook in 2002, the interviews found in the collection are with Association members who recall their experiences growing up near the Eno River and participating in the preservation and enjoyment of the local environment. Interviewees include Pat Bailey, Donald N. Cox, Holger Nygard, Thomas C. Ellis, Hazel Cash, John Blackfeather Jeffries, John A. Scarlett, and Mary Scarlett. The collection contains affiliated transcripts, 2000-2002, for some of these interviews as well as for interviews for which there is no corresponding recording. The majority of the audio recordings found in the collection relate to the annual Festival for the Eno and consist of live festival recordings, 1985-2010, radio broadcasts, 1995-1998, and performers' audition tapes, 1985-2010. Notable performers featured on the live recordings include Etta Baker, Shirley Caesar, Richard "Big Boy" Henry, Algia Mae Hinton, John Dee Holeman, Bobby McMillon, Tift Merritt, Frank Proffitt, Red Clay Ramblers, Ralph Stanley, Joe Thompson, Doc Watson, and Merle Watson. Also included in the collection are videotapes, circa 1997, containing footage of the festival, promotional posters, 1987-2016, from select years of the festival, and ephemera found with the performers' audition tapes.
