In the last newsletter, we told you of the different preservation survey work that the Center was undertaking. Well, three "experts" visited the Center — we've been poked, prodded, examined with a magnifying glass — and have we learned a lot! Though we can't possibly summarize everything in this article, we want to share the gist of their findings so that you're aware of the major issues facing the Center.

The Center was very pleased when the Northeast Document Conservation Center awarded us a subsidized preservation survey. In March, Beth Patkus, with training in archives administration and preservaton, traveled from …

Anthropology And Environmental Studies Of The Southwest: The Integration Of People And The Land Through Time, Terri S. Ross

MALS Final Projects, 1995-2019

The indigenous peoples of the American Southwest are so culturally integrated with their environment that it is impossible to separate the land and the people. Personal interviews with three Navajo women provide an original and native voice illustrating their relationship to the environment. Five different topics chosen from their interviews have been researched to provide academic information for a more complete picture illustrating the integration of the people and the land through time.

I claim to understand the relationship between anthropology and environmental studies of the American Southwest. The people must be viewed in their native environment, and their voice …

Sandy, Pauleena and Jeff (Smoky) McKeen have embarked upon a new project which will tap a significant portion of our field recordings of music for a series of documentary sound recordings on CD and cassette tape. Our collections include various musical genres representing historical, social and cultural issues and events such as immigrant experiences, occupations, traditions and lifestyles. We have decided to first focus upon the songs of the Maine lumberwoods, Franco-American music, Penobscot Bay maritime occupations, and the Native Americans of the Northeast.

The Brigham Young University Folklore Of Hugh Winder Nibley: Gifted Scholar, Eccentric Professor And Latter-Day Saint Spiritual Guide, Jane D. Brady

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis explores the stories which revolve around folk legend Hugh Winder Nibley and what those stories mean to the people of Brigham Young University. Folklore reveals who we are and what is important to us. But, interestingly, folklore tends to reveal more about the person telling the story than about the subject of the story itself. People can't remember every story they hear. The ones they do remember are important to them. The stories are important because they fulfill basic needs of the teller. Such needs are a desire to look up to a hero, a need to fit …
