http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79292816

The Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities was established to maintain a continuing study of the cultural resources of the Commonwealth. During 1987 the council, in cooperation with the Smithsonian Institution's Office of Folklife Programs, conducted fieldwork to identify and locate traditional folk artists from Massachusetts to participate in the 22nd annual Festival of American Folklife, held on the grounds of the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., July 1988. In documenting interviews in the areas of traditional narrative, occupational folklife, foodways, and traditional music, folklorists created interview files.
