Processed in May of 2011 by Andrew Izatt. Finding aid created by Andrew Izatt, May 2011; updated by Randy Williams, May 2012. Additional materials added in 2025.

The Maryland State Arts Council deposited at the Fife Folklore Archives six linear feet of similar publications by/on public folklore programs in the U.S. These materials were collected from the mid-1970s through the late 1980s by Charles Camp, Maryland State folklorist for 20 years, (Maryland has the longest-running state folklife program in the nation) and Elaine Thatcher, public folklorist. Additional materials were donated by Jens Lund in 2025.

Folklorist Bess Lomax Hawes (daughter of John Avery Lomax and Bess Bauman-Brown Lomax, and the sister of Alan Lomax) was instrumental in organizing the Smithsonian Institution's 1976 Bicentennial Festival of Traditional Folk Arts on the National Mall in Washinton DC. She was aided in her efforts by public and academic folklorists throughout the United States. In 1977, Hawes was named the first director of the Folk and Traditional Arts Program at the National Endowment of the Arts, where she worked to create state or territorial folk arts programs—working with some of the same folklorists she involved in the Bicentennial Festival in 1976. The goal of the state folk arts programs was to collect and present the folk culture in each U.S. State and territory. The materials housed in this collection reflect the efforts of these programs.
The Public Folklore collection contains correspondence, newsletters and ephemera such as brochures, mailers, pamphlets, programs, etc. related to public folklore programs in the United States, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico. The materials are divided according to state and further organized into folders of their respective categories chronologically by date.
