Tennessee Folklore Society Online Sampler

Past Meetings: A Tennessee Folklore Society Online Sampler

In place of a face-to-face gathering, the Tennessee Folklore Society will host a special online project sharing videos from program sessions at previous TFS meetings. "Past Meetings: A TFS Online Sampler" on November 7, 2020.

Since 1934, Tennessee Folklore Society meetings have provided a forum for documentation and advocacy efforts related to Tennessee folk culture, with talks and screenings on topics ranging from folk music and verbal arts to material culture. Martin Fisher has had the foresight to make recordings of many years' proceedings. We draw on that informal archive, and on Martin's editing, for this year's online reprise from past TFS meetings:
