"The purpose of the Pennsylvania Folklife Society, a non-profit corporation, is three-fold: collecting the lore of the Dutch Country and Pennsylvania; studying and archiving it; and making it available to the public both in this country and abroad" [from Pennsylvania Folklife, Vol. XVII, No. 2]. Pennsylvania Folklife, the journal through which the Society communicated its findings to the public, is presented here in digital form in the hopes of achieving the educational purpose of the Society on a global scale.

The issues in this collection (volumes 9-46) cover the final incarnation of the Society's magazine, published in its later years by Ursinus College, through to its completion in 1997. Subjects covered include: architecture, cookery, costume, customs of the year, folk art and antiques, folk dancing, folk medicine, folk literature, folk religion, folk speech, home-making lore, recreation, superstitions, traditional farm and craft practices, transportation lore and numerous others. The contents are copyrighted by the Pennsylvania Folklife Society and are presented here for educational purposes only; they are not to be reproduced or redistributed for commercial gain.

Please note that the Spring 1977 issue was erroneously published as Volume 26, No. 4. The following issue was published as Volume 26, No. 5. No issue was published as Volume 26, No. 3.

Judith E. Fryer's Taufscheine - A New Index for People Hunters was first published in Volume 28, Number 1 (Fall, 1978). Taufscheine - A New Index for People Hunters - Part II was first published in Volume 28, Number 2 (Winter, 1979).
