William A. (Bert) Wilson directed Utah State University's Folklore Program and Fife Folklore Archives from 1978-1985. During that time he also conducted folklore fieldwork to use in his own research, his classes, and for grant projects. This collection comprises the slides that Professor Wilson took during this time. The collection also includes the slides of other fieldworkers who worked on the same projects of Wilson.
The materials in the Collection include slides on Mendon, Utah's May Day Celebration, Southern Utah's Folklife Festival, the Library of Congress's Paradise Valley, Nevada, Fieldwork Project, the Utah Arts Council's Folk Arts Program activities. There is no metadata for the slides. For more information on the Paradise Valley project go to American Folklife Center: Nevada. The collection is housed in an acid-free box and sorted into separate folders and stored in USU's Special Collections.
