Folklore -- Arizona

The Philip A. Bailey Papers contain correspondence, notebooks, biographical and genealogical material, manuscript and typescript compositions, and clippings files. Although the collection ranges from 1842 to 1965, the bulk of the material covers Bailey's research and writing on lost mines in Arizona and California from 1906 to 1948.

The Folklore Archives consist of academic papers on a wide variety of folklore topics written by students enrolled in EN 357: Introduction to Folklore between 1979 and 1991. In some cases, audio recordings of student interviews with individuals knowledgeable about their research topic are also included.

This collection houses papers written by students in ENG 357 (Introduction to Folklore) and COM 344 (Performance of Oral Traditions) between 1991 and 2006. This collection has not been processed in full and can be viewed only by appointment. Contact Archives and Special Collections for more information.
