In May 2015, USU’s Fife Folklore Archives and Folklore Program hosted “Voices: Refugees in Cache Valley,” a Library of Congress Field School for Cultural Documentation. This three week summer field school trained students to document and deposit the important stories of Burmese Muslim, Karen, and Eritrean refugees in the Fife Folklore Archives at Utah State University’s (USU) Special Collections and Archives which resulted in this collection, Folk Coll 58: Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project.
This collection contains the physical recordings and associated materials of the Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project. A product of the 2015 Library of Congress Field School for Cultural Documentation: “Voices: Refugees in Cache Valley” made possible by Utah State University’s Fife Folklore Archive and Folklore Program, with help from the Karen community, and the Library of Congress.
It is the responsibility of the researcher to obtain any necessary copyright clearances.
