Northeast Folklore Society Newsletter

As of September 1, 1964, THE NORTHEAST FOLKLORE SOCIETY is incorporated as a non-profit institution, the primary purpose of which is "to collect, preserve, study, and publish the songs and legends, tales and other traditions of the New England-Canadian Maritimes area."
