Join us for a fascinating presentation with folklorist and researcher Derek Piotr, founder of The Derek Piotr Fieldwork Archive.
The Derek Piotr Fieldwork Archive contains over 1,500 audio recordings made from March 2020 onward, and preserves diverse representations of folklife; ballads, hymns, tales, poems, children’s songs, and interviews among them. In this lecture, Derek will walk you through the process of journeying everywhere from Iceland to Appalachia to record these songs from non-musicians, as well as the organization and development of the Archive as a web-based repository.
