North Carolina Folklore Society
Founded in 1913, the North Carolina Folklore Society promotes the appreciation and study of North Carolina's folklife. In its early years, members guided by Frank C. Brown of Duke University collected songs, stories, customs, and superstitions for The Frank C. Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore, the most extensive collection of a state's folklore.
In 1948 Society Secretary-Treasurer Arthur Palmer Hudson of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill began a state folklore journal now in its forty-seventh volume, whose editors have included distinguished writers Richard G. Walser and Guy Owen of North Carolina State University.
Through its annual meeting, programs, awards, and publications, the North Carolina Folklore Society encourages the study and preservation of local folklife and provides a state folklife information center and resources center. The Society also publishes a resource listing and calendar, both in its newsletter and as part of this website. Membership is open to the public.
