The Utah State University Fife Folklore Conference Student Fieldwork Collection consists of approximately 440 projects collected by undergraduate and graduate students in fulfillment of graded credit requirements for the Fife Folklore Conference. Most items include informant, context, text (the folklore item), 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, and folksongs) to area interests (such as regional, occupational, and family folklore). The Collection inventory includes a subject index and a register. The register includes the item number, student name, title of the project, number of items, content description, and release form and restriction information. Items are numbered by the year the student attended the Fife Folklore Conference and the individual number of the item. For example, FOLK COLL 8a: FFC 87-02, means that the student attended the Conference in 1987 and it is item 2 in that year. The items are stored in archival boxes. The materials do NOT circulate.
