The Utah State University Student Fieldwork Collection: GRAD consists of approximately 200 projects collected by USU graduate students in fulfillment of graded credit requirements for the Folklore Fieldwork course. Most items include title page, essay, cassette-taped oral interview, tape transcription, collector and informant release form(s), and some contain photographs and/or slides. The projects examine a wide variety of topics ranging from specific genres (like jokes, legends, and belief) to area interests (such as local and regional history, occupational folklore and history, and family folklore). Items are numbered by the year the student submitted the project to their instructor and the individual number of the item. For example, FOLK COLL 8a: GRAD 97-02, means that the item was submitted in 1997 and it is item 2 in that year. The items are stored in archival boxes. The materials do NOT circulate.
