We invite you to visit this wonderful exhibit created by Randall V. Mills Archives of Northwest Folklore graduate student archivists. The exhibit opens September 28, 2018 and will be available for viewing through winter term, 2019.

The Randall V. Mills Archives of Northwest Folklore is a repository of fieldwork collections and research materials on folklife in Oregon, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. Collections include books and periodicals; student and faculty research papers and fieldwork projects; fieldwork photographs and sound recordings; and documentary videos.

As part of UO Folklore and Public Culture Program, the Archives supports students in the study of folklore and it provides training opportunities in the management of cultural collections. The Archives also makes collections available to the public for study and appreciation. On display in this exhibit are collections that span the last fifty years, showcasing the interdisciplinary approach of the UO’s Folklore students.
