Title: Keepers of Tradition

URL: http://www.massfolkarts.org/

Description: This web site — and a complementary exhibition that was on display at the National Heritage Museum from May 18, 2008-June 7, 2009 — draws on eight years of fieldwork by folklorists at the Massachusetts Cultural Council. This investigation took researchers into homes, dance halls, boat yards, places of worship, and festival sites — places where folk art is produced, used and valued. They found, talked with, photographed, and recorded people practicing folk art traditions, with the goal of understanding these practices from an insider's point of view.
