| Description | This first episode is an introduction to the Fife Folklore Archives, one of the largest folklore repositories in the United States. The episode includes information on the history of the Archives, including an example of Austin and Alta Fife, for whom the Archives is named, fieldwork on Mormon folksongs. L.M. Hilton of Ogden, Utah sings "The Gospel News." The song was collected from Mr. Hilton by the Fifes in 1946 and it is part of the Fife's Mormon Collection, part of the Fife's original fieldwork collection that the Fife's donated to Utah State University to begin the folklore repository. As well, the episode includes an example of a more recent fieldwork project: the Latino/a Voices Project, with an interview conducted by USU graduate student Karl Germeck with Alicia Espinosa regarding her childhood in Santiago, Chile under military dictator Augusto Pinochet. |
