Content Description

The Utah folklore collection (1947-1997) is a collection of student folklore projects which spans nearly fifty years. These projects were prepared by University of Utah students studying in various courses and workshops taught by Louis Zucker, Wayland D. Hand, Hector Lee, Barre Toelken, Jan Harold Brunvand, Margaret K. Brady, and David Stanley. The collection has been arranged in a format similar to that of the folklore collection at Utah State University in 1989 which consisted of two parts: Focused Projects and Genre Items. In general, Focused Projects are those which look at a subject in some detail, often include an interview and present the subject subject in context. Genre Items are single topics such as a game or joke and may include variations.

  • Genre Items Related to Occupations and Activities; Nations and States

    The genre items contained in this box were separated into two sections. The first section includes 17 folders arranged by subject from computer lore to xerox lore; the second section, beginning with box 18, consists of folklore materials from nations and nationalities around the world and also includes items from various states in the United States. Folders are arranged alphabetically within the two sections and items are arranged chronologically within each folder. Folders 47-51 contain specific state folklore projects.

  • Oral and Customary Projects

    This box contains projects done in 1968; the 1970s; and 1980-1983. Most are collections of genre items such as pregnancy beliefs. Some include a brief context and analytic comments. Folders 1-6 consist of specific project assignments numbered 2-7 prepared for Jan Brunvand's Introduction to Folklore course, Spring Quarter, 1968.

  • Folklore Classes, 1966-1969

    The papers in this box were prepared for classes taught by Jan Brunvand. His notes and comments are of particular interest. Specific classifications such as superstitions, legends, and songs, were the focus of much folklore study at this time. Brunvand, and those processing folklore materials under his direction, often separated specific topics from student projects and collections and arranged them according to specific topic headings. (See also 3x5 cards in boxes 65-70). This means that the following material may or may not be complete as it was originally gathered and arranged. In this box and also in box 61 each folder title includes a brief statement which indicates project or collection content. The term project generally indicates an assigned subject. The term collection has a broader connotation and generally reflects the student's choice of study and/or assembly of materials. Note restrictions for use written on some of the cover sheets regarding appropriate use of the material.
