Folklore

Welcome to our Folklore Home Page!

Folklore touches all our lives, from birth to death, from initiation to finals, from yesterday's memories to tomorrow's divinations, from one to all. CSUF offers a number of courses treating both folklore (the "stuff") and folkloristics (the discipline) taught by experts in the field. In addition we maintain folklore archives to serve your research needs.

From here you can proceed to:

• Folklore Courses and Faculty

• Central California Folklore Archives

• Fresno Folklore Society

• Folklore in Fresno and the World (links)

• German Ballad Index

• Traditional Ballad Index of Folk Songs from the English-Speaking World

  An annotated bibliography of over 10,000 traditional narrative folk songs from all over the English-speaking world.

• Bruce Olson's Broadside Ballad Site

• Drinking Songs:

  John Patrick's DrinkingSongs.net (ltd. edition)

  Unedited, uncensored pieces of folklore are a tremendously important resource for the study of culture - both past and contemporary. Some folklore items here may be considered prejudiced, stereotyped or offensive, and they may not reflect our opinions or those with whom we have communicated.
  If you would be offended by this material, please avoid this directory.

• Ballad Bibliographies

• Ballad Reprints
