“That the history of the United States effectively demonstrates that building a strong nation does not require the sacrifice of cultural differences”

—American Folklife Preservation Act, 1976

What is folklife?

At its heart, folklife is the knowledge, skills, stories, and meanings that are shared and passed on within cultural communities and social groups. Folklife can be both old and new. It reflects important ties people have to places and spaces near and far.

What is the American Folklife Center?

The American Folklife Center was created by the American Folklife Preservation Act in 1976. It is part of the Library of Congress and is home to one of the oldest and largest cultural archives in the world. The Center preserves and presents folklife through research, archival preservation, public programs, and training.

For fifty years, the Center has contributed to the Library of Congress’ efforts to democratize the public record by expanding community representation in its collections and programs.

“Our collections are far more likely to survive the scars of mayhem if they are robust and alive in many hands.”

—Elizabeth Cohen, “Preservation of Audio” in Folk Heritage Collections in Crisis, 2001

Documenting folklife, with the permission of the practitioner, is one way to help preserve it for the future. Videos of a religious procession, photos of weavers at their loom, and interviews with elders about their memories provide valuable insights into shared knowledge, traditions, and community life.

Since its founding, the American Folklife Center has played a leading role in documenting folklife across the country. From 2022 to 2024, the Community Collections Grant program supported more than two dozen projects led by communities to document their cultural activities and livelihoods. The documentation from each project has become part of the Center’s collections and is available on the Library of Congress website.

Preserving People’s Stories and Experiences

The American Folklife Center has one of the oldest and largest cultural archives in the world—and is still growing. The Center’s archives are “multi-format,” meaning they contain sound recordings, films, videos, photographs, manuscripts, and objects. The archives contain personal narratives and firsthand accounts— such as oral histories—of people’s experiences and memories of past events and places. Together, these materials provide insights into people’s cultures and experiences from the 1890s to today.

Documenting Veterans’ Stories

Since 2000, the American Folklife Center has been home to the Veterans History Project. This project documents, preserves, and shares the personal narratives of U.S. military veterans who served from World War I to the present day. The project’s archive includes oral history interviews, photographs, diaries, and letters. By documenting the daily experiences of service members, this collection ensures that future generations can hear directly from veterans and better understand what they saw, did, and felt during their service.

Ancestral Voices

The oldest collection at the American Folklife Center is the Jesse Walter Fewkes Collection of Passamaquoddy recordings. Fewkes, an anthropologist, created these early field recordings in Calais, Maine, in 1890. He used wax cylinders, an early audio recording technology, to record songs, legends, creation stories, and linguistic terms used by the Passamaquoddy Tribe. Today, the Passamaquoddy primarily live in Maine and New Brunswick, Canada.

In 2015, the Center worked with the Passamaquoddy on the “Ancestral Voices” project. Library staff digitized the wax cylinder recordings and returned the digital recordings to the Passamaquoddy, enhancing their understanding of their ancestors’ voices and teachings. The Center also worked with Passamaquoddy tribal leaders to co-curate the Fewkes Collection, providing rich contextual information in their language.

Teaching Traditions with Food

In the 1970s, Salish elder Mary “Agnes” Vanderburg started a seasonal camp in the Flathead Reservation in Arlee, Montana. She welcomed anyone to her camp who wanted to learn traditional skills. Many of her lessons were centered around traditional foods.

When American Folklife Center fieldworkers visited the camp in July 1979, Agnes led a lesson on how to identify and prepare common camas root, a historically important food for tribes in the Northwest.

Bread, Rum, and Sugar

In 2022, folklorist Marion Jacobson and food scholar Makalé Faber Cullen were inspired to document the rich baking traditions and retail legacies of New York and New Jersey’s Caribbean communities.

Their project, “Bread, Rum, and Sugar” received an Archie Green Fellowship from the American Folklife Center.

Menelik Rutty, one of baker Janet Rutty’s nine children, describes the bakery’s most popular bread.

Harvest on Big Rice Lake

Wild rice plays a major role in the diet of Ojibwe tribes of the Great Lakes region. The plant plays a starring role in migration stories and both historic and contemporary foodways.

To harvest the rice, harvesters paddle out into the rice lake. They bend the plants over the edge of the boat, and knock the grains into the bottom of the canoe. During the process, some of the rice falls back into the lake, reseeding it for the next year.

Puerto Rican Coffee Traditions

Filmmaker Russell Oliver’s 2022 Community Collections Grant project, “Documenting the Stories, Agricultural

Traditions, and Culture of Specialty Coffee Farmers in Puerto Rico,” sought to trace coffee’s journey from seed to cup. He filmed and interviewed coffee farmers at haciendas to capture their distinctive agricultural knowledge. These farming practices continue to shape coffee production across the island’s central mountains.

“It’s a gift from Creator, that food. In a lot of ways, it defines what it is to be Anishinabe, or Ojibwe people, because we’re the ones who have that rice.”

–Winona LaDuke, White Earth Land Recovery Project founder

“Puerto Rican coffee is known for its medium/citric acidity, sweet aftertaste, with a heavy, creamy, and silky body. The coffee has notes of caramel, milk chocolate, nuts, and spices like vanilla or cinnamon and other tropical fruits like pineapple, Spanish lime, and oranges in a medium roast.”

– Remy Rodriques, of Fincas La Sombra in Guayanilla

New Homes, Old Foods

Food is a way we sustain our cultures, across generations and locations.

When we move to a new home, we may not be able to bring everything from our old one. But we can transport the taste of home through our favorite recipes and seeds planted in new gardens.

Food traditions are one of the most mobile traditional practices and often serve as an entry point for teaching others about a culture. They are relatable and accessible ways for thinking about folklife.

Food in the Military

Food is a key component in many of the oral histories preserved by the American Folklife Center’s Veterans History Project. Veterans often remember special holiday meals, or the coffee and donuts from mobile canteens that served up a taste of home. Some recalled getting creative with rations to make them more palatable. Others shared visceral memories of mess hall dishes they’ll never forget.
