Guides to the Collections in the Archive of Folk Culture LOWELL FOLKLIFE PROJECT COLLECTION AFC 1987/042 Library of Congress American Folklife Center ----------------------------------------------------------------- September 1997 Library of Congress American Folklife Center LOWELL FOLKLIFE PROJECT COLLECTION AFC 1987/042 SUMMARY The Lowell Folklife Project Collection consists of audio recordings, photographs, manuscript materials, publications, ephemera, and accompanying documentation related to the American Folklife Center's 1987-88 Lowell Folklife Project. In cooperation with the Lowell Historic Preservation Commission, with additional support from the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities, the Center conducted a year-long research project to document the ethnic and neighborhood traditions of the people of Lowell, Massachusetts. Peter Bartis of the Center was in charge of the project while Douglas DeNatale coordinated the field team. Five folklorists interviewed, photographed, and recorded the people, traditions, and cultural activities of Lowell. The project yielded a collection comprising 27.75 linear feet of materials. The field data were used as the basis for the Center's "Report to the Lowell Historic Preservation Commission," which includes, in part, recommendations for further folklife research and cultural programming in Lowell. Access and Reproduction: Access to the collection is unrestricted. Reference copies of all sound recordings are available. Duplication of sound recordings may be governed by copyright and other restrictions.

The Lowell Historic Preservation Commission, a federal agency charged with telling "the human story of the Industrial Revolution," invited the Center to develop and administer a cultural survey of contemporary ethnic and neighborhood life in Lowell in order to aid the Commission in its planning and programmatic functions, assist the State Heritage Park and National Historical Park in their interpretive programs, and create an archive of documentary materials. The year-long study yielded an ethnographic collection consisting of 196 hours of sound recordings covering a wide range of subjects and activities, including oral history interviews, religious services, musical events, parades and processions, and neighborhood tours. An additional 23 hours of sound recordings covering musical events and oral history interviews were copied from originals lent by Lowell residents. The photographic materials amassed by the project total approximately 10,000 black-and-white images and 3,500 color slides. In general, these images provide photographic coverage of events also documented on audiotape, but they also document occupational scenes, cultural artifacts, environmental details, and public events that were not conducive to sound recording. Print and manuscript materials amount to 6,750 pages and include fieldnotes, reports, and administrative material. Finally, 15 computer disks, which constitute electronic versions of the manuscript material, and an assortment of ephemera round out the collection. The large body of information collected on the life and traditions of the people of Lowell served as the basis for "Report to the Lowell Historic Preservation Commission." The report discusses the project's course of development and implementation, briefly surveys the project holdings, reviews cultural issues involved in folklife research and programming in Lowell, and presents a number of recommendations for further research and public programming in Lowell. (A copy of the report is included in the collection). This multi-format ethnographic collection has been added to the Archive of Folk Culture at the Library of Congress. A reference copy of the collection was given to the Lowell Historic Preservation Commission, which intended to use it as the nucleus for a folklife archive at the Partick J. Mogan Cultural Center.
