Scope and Contents

From the part:

The photographs belonging to the John C. Campbell Folk School collection range from those taken for insurance documentation and random snap-shots, to elaborate photo studies and arrangements depicting various aspects of Appalachian life and culture. There were over 7,000 original images but many of these were duplicates. Ultimately, only 1,913 photographs or 27% of the total collection were selected for duplication. The photographic collection is extremely strong in its documentation of folk school activities, particularly in the areas of Danish and other traditional folk dance and traditional handicrafts including ceramics, weaving, wood, and metal work.
