"Podcasting is an ideal format for featuring noteworthy recordings as they're discovered in processing," said Secretary of State Sue M. Cobb. "It's a great way to share Florida's diverse musical heritage with listeners throughout the world. We're very excited about using podcasting to increase access to these wonderful recordings."
The Florida Folklife Collection includes numerous paper records, thousands of audio recordings, and film and video footage dating from the 1930s through present. The collection documents performances by, interviews with, and fieldwork surveys of folk musicians, artisans, storytellers, folklife interpreters, and other Floridians and their culture. The records document the living traditions of Florida's peoples and provide a unique vision of Florida through the perspective of the state's culturally diverse population.
