Historical Note
The Folklore Society of Utah (FSU) was established in 1958 under the influence and direction of prominent Utah folklorists
and scholars, including Juanita Brooks, Olive Woolley Burt, Thomas E. Cheney, Austin E. and Alta S. Fife,
Wayland Hand, King Hendricks, Lester A. Hubbard, Hector Lee, Jennings C. Olson, J. Golden Taylor, Louis C. Zucker and
others. FSU promotes and nurtures the study of folklore by collecting, preserving, and interpreting the folklore of
Utah and surrounding areas. Beyond collection and preservation, the society makes folklore available both to the general
public and to scholars by maintaining an archive (FOLK COLLECTION 28), publishing material, and presenting information
through an annual meeting, formal lectures, concerts, festivals, events, and gatherings on folklore.
For more information on the Folklore Society of Utah, contact current president
Lisa Duskin-Goede.
Provenance
The Fife Folklore Archives, Special Collections and Archives at Utah State University Libraries is the chosen
repository for the official papers of the Folklore Society of Utah. The collection continues to grow through the submission of
FSU Executive Board Member's papers and general FSU related submissions.
Scope and Content
The Folklore Society of Utah Collection is divided into five (5) numbered series. Some of the series are divided into
lettered sub-series, allowing for future growth of the collection, with each individual sub-series starting over with Box 1
(consequently, each series may have more than one "Box 1"). For use of an item please reference the collection
