'AT RISK' ARCHIVES
Over the years, many vital archives of folklore research and material have been lost from private collections because no provision was made for their archiving after the death of the researcher. The life's work of Barbara Spooner, a Cornish folklore collector, ended up in a skip for example because no instructions had been left and the council cleared her house after she passed away. We would like to prevent such things from happening in the future. If you know such a collector, please put us in touch if you think we can help to give a home to their material in the future.
