Fife Folklore Archives student media collection
Scope and Contents
The Fife Folklore Archives Student Media Collection consists of folklore collected by USU folklore students on cassette tape, microcassette (which were transferred to cassette tapes and one CD for easier listening), VCR tape, color transparencies, and color slides. Most media submissions (2000 forward) accompanied genre collections; however, as most media submissions are connected to more than one genre item, they are housed separately from the transcript. If known, the location of the student genre colleciton is listed. If the professor is known it is listed in parenthesis. The collection is organized by date.
