Louisiana Folklore Society

The Louisiana Folklore Society was founded in 1956 to encourage the study, documentation, and accurate representation of the traditional cultures of Louisiana. Our members include university professors, professional folklorists in the public sector, secondary school teachers, museum workers, graduate students, and other individuals interested in Louisiana's traditions and cultural groups.

 

Visioning for LFS

 

In June 2010, the Louisiana Folklore Society hired folklorist Amy Skillman with the Institute for Cultural Partnerships to lead members through a visioning process. Twenty LFS members participated in a day-long workshop. Thirty-three took an online survey. Amy Skillman has submitted a report on the process with recommendations for LFS.
