The Folklore Library and Archive is custodian of a number of special collection of national and international significance to the study of folklore and its related fields. Some of these collections have been acquired by ourselves, some donated and some we curate. We are working hard to digitise all of the public domain materials in our special collection, and to provide finding guides for each collection to assist in the location and request of information on non-public domain materials that we hold.
