Biographical/Historical:     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."

Summary:     This series documents the results of a grant awarded in 1997 by the Division of Historical Resources to the University of Central Florida Art Department to survey folk architecture in Florida. The series includes final survey reports and associated photographs composed and taken as a result of the project. Locations surveyed include Tarpon Springs, Southwest Taylor County, ranching communities in Christmas, Escambia County, the Brighton Seminole Indian Reservation in Glades County, Everglades City and Chokoloskee Island, and Little Havana and West Coconut Grove. The reports are complete reviews of fieldworker research at each site and are complemented by the photographs included both within the final surveys and those at the end of the series. Also included in this series are administrative files associated with the Folk Architecture Survey, including a grant proposal for an architecture survey dated 1979.
