1982 SMITHSONIAN FOLKLIFE FESTIVAL: CHILDREN'S PROGRAM AUDIO LOG SHEETS
About the Project
Audio documentation has played a crucial part in capturing the many stories, performances, exchanges, and demonstrations that have taken place on the National Mall as part of the Festival of American Folklife (now Smithsonian Folklife Festival). For each program, documentation volunteers generated detailed "class style" notes to accompany audio recordings which often include presenter and participant names, subject keywords, song titles, and brief descriptions of the events taking place in real time. These notes are often the richest (or only) source of information about who was present and provide key references for understanding and interpreting the recorded content. While the styles, formats, and spelling accuracy vary across logs, they nevertheless serve as fundamental link between what actually took place and what is documented in audio, photo, and, video formats. In 1982, the Children's Program sought to provide a child-centered perspective on the Festival's two major programs, Korea and Oklahoma, with its own dedicated participants among the contingents of Oklahomans and Korean Americans. Visitors to the Children's Area could experience what it was like to grow up in the Oklahoma Territory and could discover the values and traditions that Korean Americans have handed down to their children. More information about the program including participant names can be found here.
