CANTON -- Traditional Arts in Upstate New York was the recipient of the 2012 Archie Green Fellowship, awarded by the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
The fellowship honors folklorist Archie Green (1917-2009), who championed the establishment of the American Folklife Center.
The center was established to support field research into the culture and traditions of American workers.
TAUNY’s research, led by Program Director Hannah Harvester, will document the lives and changing relationships of dairy farmers and farm workers in the North Country.
Harvester will lead a team of folklorists, including Jill Breit and Varick Chittenden and photographer Martha Cooper.
Interviews will be conducted with longtime residents and more recently arrived workers to explore changing work culture and relationships.
The documentary will be part of the American Folklife Center’s Archie Green Community Documentation Collection.
