To Benefit

Vermont Folklife Center

The Vermont Folklife Center documents, preserves, and presents the diverse and ever-evolving traditional culture and heritage of Vermont and its peoples.   

We fulfill our mission in a number of ways:

·         By conducting folklore field research with groups throughout the state we collect and share the stories and traditions of our diverse communities.

·         By teaching Vermonters of all ages to use deep interviewing methods and digital technology (video, audio, photography) to document and share their own life experience and heritage.

·         By presenting exhibits and other public programs at our home in Middlebury and locations throughout the state that increase the understanding of our ever-changing cultural landscape

·         By preserving personal and family stories, photographic collections, moving images, and recordings of regional music in our multimedia state-of-the art archive.

·          By doing all these things the VFC works to broaden Vermonters’ sense of themselves, their families, and their communities by teaching them to collect, interpret and reflect their own stories and traditions
