This series documents a seminal effort to establish institutional folklife research in South Florida in the mid-1980s. In 1984, the Bureau of Florida Folklife Programs, the Dade County Council of the Arts and Sciences, and the Historical Association of Southern Florida (now HistoryMiami Museum) began a concerted effort to establish a folklife program in South Florida. In 1985, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) awarded the Bureau of Florida Folklife Programs a grant to conduct the first folklife survey of South Florida, the goal of which was to ascertain what expressive traditions were being practiced in South Florida’s diverse ethnic communities. The survey—conducted by Tina Bucuvalas, Nancy Nusz, and Laurie Sommers—documented a wide range of skills and art forms in local Haitian, Jamaican, Mexican, Bahamian, Cuban, and Jewish communities. Over the course of three months, the survey identified 200 folk artists in the Miami area. This initial effort provided the impetus for the creation of the South Florida Folklife Center at the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. Original materials from this project are held by the State Archives of Florida, including field notes, images, audiotapes, videotapes, and related media. Many of these items have been digitized and made available via the Florida Memory Project website (https://www.floridamemory.com).

This series compiles materials from two related folklife projects during the mid- and late-1980s, the Miami-Dade Folk Arts survey and Palm Beach Folk Art in Education survey. During 1986 and 1987, The South Florida Folklife Center of The Historical Association of Southern Florida (now HistoryMiami Museum) conducted their second survey: a project to document folk arts in the Miami-Dade area and locate additional artists who might participate in the Traditions festival (HMF9004). Tina Bucuvalas conducted the fieldwork for this project, which received funding through a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) grant to support both the Traditions Festival (HMF9004) and the Folk Arts in the Schools Program (HMF9005). During this same period, the Bureau of Florida Folklife Programs conducted a survey of Folk Art in Education in Palm Beach County. Jan Rosenberg conducted the fieldwork for this project, which generated information, photographic images, and other materialsfor the HistoryMiami Museum collection. Highlights include photographs of diverse folklife traditions such as Cretan music, Venezuelan kites, Miccosukee woodworking, and handmade lobster traps. Materials include: copies of research field notes and information sheets on informants; and photographic prints, as well as 35mm negatives, slides, and contact sheets.

This series documents field research on folk and traditional arts in the Florida Keys conducted during 1990 by Brent Cantrell and Robert Stone for the South Florida Folklife Program of the Historical Association of Southern Florida (now HistoryMiami Museum). The Keys’ geographical isolation and cultural mix of Anglo, Bahamian, and Cuban settlers combined to produce unique folkways, the oldest and most developed of which are often associated with maritime industries and occupations. Since the Works Progress Administration (WPA) Writer’s Project survey in the 1930s (see HMF9010 and HMF9000), only limited and sporadic efforts have been made to document Keys folklife. The project documented a wide variety of traditions, including: fishing, boat-building, quilt-making, sculpture, woodcarving, doll-making, and music. Materials include: field notes, surveys, and ephemera; reports and publications; photographic contact sheets, 35mm slides and negatives; audiocassette tape recordings of interviews, musical performances, and church services; and a videocassette tape of funeral bands in Key West.
