Oklahoma Folklore Collection



The Oklahoma Folklore Collection is the result of an effort by the Metropolitan Library System in the late 1940's and early 1950's to collect and preserve the stories, memories, and songs that make up Oklahoma's rich folk tradition. Inside you will find stories, songs letters, interviews, poems, sheet music, brochures, and much more that brings to light Oklahoma History as it was being created. Along with the transcibed documents you will find an image of the original document.

The creation of this resource was made possible, in part, by a grant provided by the Inasmuch Foundation.
