Folklife Collection - Untitled [Office Folklore]

by Salisbury University Students (1993)

1 folder (0.1 linear feet)

In a series of interviews of local Eastern Shore residents in 1993, Salisbury University students and teachers collected folk life material. For this project, Trisha M. Vellines decided to focus on occupational folklore, more specifically on office culture. Her fieldwork consisted of a trip at the offices of her mother and father, who were her main informants. She collected a great deal of folk material such as jokes, quotes, notices and cartoons (copies enclosed).
