Wedding Traditions and Marriage Life
In this project, Alana Jill Cutshall decided that since she was about to get married, that a good topic for her project would be Wedding Traditions. She felt that this topic would be of interest to people and would never go out of style. Ms. Cutshall interviewed five people for this project, whose ages were spread over wide enough range to give several different perspectives, ideas, and experiences. This interview is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009. Minimally contain collector’s introduction and analysis, transcribed informant interviews, and excerpted and labeled examples of oral, customary, and/or material folklore/folklife collected primarily within the Appalachian region. Most include also tables of contents, informant information, indexes (outlines) of interviews, photographs, miscellaneous paper items, and indexes of informants, genres, and geographic locations. Accompanying audio recordings (several minutes to 2+ hours). Transferred to McConnell Library Archives & Special Collections from Appalachian Regional and Rural Studies Center, Fall 2013.
