Legislation in 1979 (79-322, SB 1208) transferred the Florida Folk Arts component of the Stephen Foster Memorial to the Florida Department of State. Operating as the Bureau of Florida Folklife Programs from ca. 1985 until 1995, the Bureau coordinated the annual Florida Folk Festival and directed such programs as Folk Arts Apprenticeships, Folk Arts in Education, Folk Heritage awards, annual research surveys, and numerous other projects and programs. From 1995 through June 30, 2021, the renamed and reorganized Florida Folklife Program continued the majority of these operations from within the Division of Historical Resources, Bureau of Historic Preservation in Tallahassee. During the 1995 reorganization, the State Archives of Florida acquired the Florida Folklife Collection from the Bureau of Florida Folklife Programs’ previously maintained Florida Folklife Archives. Legislation in 2021 (2021-71, L. O. F., HB 909) transferred the Florida Folklife Program and its operations from the Division of Historical Resources to the newly renamed Division of Arts and Culture, previously the Division of Cultural Resources, effective July 1, 2021. The program is charged to "identify, research, interpret, and present Florida folk arts, artists, performers, folklore, traditions, customs, and cultural heritage and make folk cultural resources and folklife projects available throughout the state."
In 2000, the Division of Historical Resources, Florida Folklife Program, and the University of Central Florida began a partnership to benefit combined interest in researching and preserving heritage and traditionals in the region. The Central Florida Folklife Program was funded through a National Endowment for the Arts grant applied for by the Division of Historical Resources and with the support of Florida Folklife Program staff. This grant included appointing a folklorist position for the Central Florida Folklife Position, which was hired through a state contract. Amy Hale was initially selected for this position, and provided work some early projects before resigning due to a contract dispute. The position was then filled by Natalie Underberg until the Heritage Alliance's conclusion in 2006.
