http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/58676308

Approximately 800 projects (as of 2005) produced by Utah State University students in fulfillment of graded credit requirements for an upper division undergraduate folklore course. Most items include title page, table of contents, cover essay, and several folklore items with informant, context, text (the folklore item), texture (stylistic notation), and collector data. Collector and informant release forms accompany most of the collections from 1986 forward. The projects examine a wide variety of topics ranging from specific genres (like jokes, legends, beliefs, folksongs) to area interests (such as regional, occupational, and family folklore). Subjects range from ghost stories, regional food and holiday traditions, Mormon jokes, Missionary stories, etc. Most items are from the Western U.S., Utah, or Cache Valley area.
