Abstract

This collection contains eight audio cassettes that Douglas Day recorded between circa 1998 and 2003, documenting Eastern Shore folk music and arts. Day was one team member of the 1997-2003 Delmarva Folklife Project that was an initiative of the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation and sought to document, preserve, promote, and develop the traditional cultural resources of the Delmarva region (Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia). Day was especially focused on music; tape titles include "Eastern Shore Bluegrass Association," "Chincoteague Gathering," "Bill Belote 1998," "Lefty McBride," and "Ocracoke Memorial Day Weekend/Garrish/Graveyard Band."
