Scope and Contents

From the File: The papers in this box were prepared for classes taught by Jan Brunvand. His notes and comments are of particular interest. Specific classifications such as superstitions, legends, and songs, were the focus of much folklore study at this time. Brunvand, and those processing folklore materials under his direction, often separated specific topics from student projects and collections and arranged them according to specific topic headings. (See also 3x5 cards in boxes 65-70). This means that the following material may or may not be complete as it was originally gathered and arranged. In this box and also in box 61 each folder title includes a brief statement which indicates project or collection content. The term project generally indicates an assigned subject. The term collection has a broader connotation and generally reflects the student's choice of study and/or assembly of materials. Note restrictions for use written on some of the cover sheets regarding appropriate use of the material.
