On Wed. March 30 at 9:30am in Mullins Library, Joshua Youngblood, Outreach and Research Services Librarian at University Libraries Special Collections, is leading an OLLI class on researching personal and local history with folklore collections in Special Collections.
Using folk music, folklore, print material, photographs, and digital collections, the class will see how work in the archives can be used to find out more about family histories, as well as achieve a better understanding of local and regional history and culture.
Students will have a guided tour through the digital Ozark Folksong Collection and hands-on learning with examples from a range of Libraries’ folklife collections.
