What is
Folklife?
Upcoming Events:
Story Bank Institute July 7-10, 2009
University of Maine, Orono
At Story
Bank, we think stories of people & their places are the most interesting
of all. Join us this summer to find out more about collecting,
documenting, and presenting these traditions at Story Bank Institute.
Sponsored by the Maine Folklife Center and Cultural Resources Inc., the
four day institute will train you to collect, document, and present
local stories. Each day, participants will learn fieldwork
techniques, audio and video recording, digital photography, archiving
and developing public presentations based on narratives. A team of
documentary specialists and folklorists will guide you through the
ethnographic process as well as basic documentary techniques.
