Abstract

This forum highlights the state of occupational folklore research in 2010. It features updates on new occupational folklore studies by senior colleagues, who are supported, in part, by the American Folklife Center’s newly-launched Archie Green Fellowships. The Archie Green Fellowships were established in FY2010 with Congressional support to honor the memory of this pioneering folklorist and to enable “the documentation and analysis of the culture and traditions that arise from, and are passed on by, American workers.” The forum also addresses the America Works Project, a major occupational folklore documentation and training initiative being developed jointly by the American Folklife Center, the Institute for Museum and Library Services, the National Council for Traditional Arts, the American Folklore Society and others.
