When Archives Talk to Each Other: Folk Song, Memory, and Intermountain Song Trails

This talk explores what happens when folk song archives are placed in conversation with one another. Drawing on folklorist Derek Piotr’s Fieldwork Archive, the Fife Folklore Archives, and their collaboration through Intermountain Song Trails, Joe Kinzer and Derek Piotr examine how contemporary song catching, centered on memory, fragments, and everyday voices, extends and reanimates earlier regional collecting efforts.
