The Northern Virginia Folklore Archive


Begun in 1977 when Professor Margaret Yocom started teaching at George Mason University, the Archive houses over 1,200 papers about folklore and folklife in Northern Virginia, the Mid-Atlantic region, and beyond. Here, you'll find stories about ghosts, local characters, workers in regional industries, and family members, as well as collections on ethnic and regional foodways, traditional art, folk medicine, and much more, all gathered by students in the folklore classes at GMU.
