Maine Folklife Center
June 12, 2009Economy impacting future of the center
The Maine Folklife Center contains the Northeast Archives, the oldest folklore and oral history repository in the Northeast. It has been in existence for 50 years and open to the public for research. The University of Maine funding for two staff positions will end in 2009.
This reduction creates an emergency for the center, jeopardizing its eligibility for grants and eliminating access to teh Northeast Archives of Folklore and Oral History. It also impacts the ability to publish Northeast Folklore and discontinue public programming.
