Collection Overview
| Size | 36.5 feet of linear shelf space (approximately 12000 items) |
| Abstract | The collection of organizational records, audiovisual materials, and photographs documents the Southern Folk Cultural Revival Project, an organization based in Nashville, Tenn., and founded in 1966 by African American folklorist, singer, and civil rights activist Bernice Johnson Reagon and white folklorist and folk musician Anne Romaine. The Southern Folk Cultural Revival Project (SFCRP) worked to present traditional musicians from African American and white cultures in performance together at a time when this was considered controversial. The SFCRP continued presenting musical performances throughout the South until the late 1980s, keeping close ties with the civil rights movement. |

Since August 2017, we have added ethnic and racial identities for individuals and families represented in collections. To determine identity, we rely on self-identification; other information supplied to the repository by collection creators or sources; public records, press accounts, and secondary sources; and contextual information in the collection materials. Omissions of ethnic and racial identities in finding aids created or updated after August 2017 are an indication of insufficient information to make an educated guess or an individual's preference for identity information to be excluded from description. When we have misidentified, please let us know at wilsonlibrary@unc.edu.
Until 2019, some of photographic materials in this collection were originally part of the "SFC General Photograph Collection." Materials in the SFC General Photograph Collection were individually numbered in a sequential manner that spanned collections. Materials that have a number with a "P-" indicate inclusion in this collection. These numbers have been retained so that previous uses of the images and additional description remain connected to the materials.

Historical Information
Founded in 1966 by Anne Romaine and Bernice Johnson Reagon, the Southern Folk Cultural Revival Project (SFCRP) worked to present traditional musicians from black and white cultures in performance together at a time when this was considered controversial. The SFCRP continued presenting musical performances throughout the South until the late 1980s and kept close ties with the activism of the civil rights era.
The organizational records of the SFCRP are almost entirely the work of musician and historian Anne Romaine, the organization's only director and administrator. From her base in Nashville, Tenn., Romaine, who died in 1995, worked to organize the many programs of the SFCRP, seek funding from institutions, and keep track of its financial records. At its height in the mid-1980s, the organization routinely ran two lengthy musical performance tours a year, sponsored the Tennessee Grassroots Days in Nashville, and had its hand in many other local projects and concerts. Other projects of note that Romaine worked on under the auspices of the SFCRP were the opening of Alex Haley House Museum (she was writing Haley's biography at the time of her death) and the co-production of Carry It On, a nine-part television special about traditional American music aired on PBS.

Scope and Content
Records of the Southern Folk Cultural Revival Project (SFCRP) document performing folk musicians from or associated with the southeastern United States. Director Anne Romaine kept correspondence, artist files, contracts, photographs, and recordings of a large number of musicians who worked for the organization, including Dewey Balfa, Dock Boggs, Reverend Pearly Brown, Alice Gerrard, Hazel Dickens, Mable Hillary, Jane Sapp, Lily May Ledford, Furry Lewis, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Ola Belle Reed, Frazier Moss, Sparky Rucker, Mike Seeger, Johnny Shines, Hedy West, and Nimrod Workman.
Included are files from SFCRP tours, such as the Southern Folk Festival, the Appalachian Music Festival, the Oldtime Mountain Music Show and the Southern Grassroots Music Tour. There are also files from Tennessee Grassroots Days, which took place in Nashville, Tenn., and other festivals, music in the schools series, prison performances, benefit concerts, and Anne Romaine's work with the opening of the Alex Haley House Museum.
Also included are general office and grant files, among them information about the proposed merger of the SFCRP with Tennessee State University; photographs of musicians; audio recordings and videotapes from meetings, workshops, and musical performances at festivals, schools, and prisons; and posters from various events. Among the videotapes are several episodes of the SFCRP-produced Carry it On television series that aired on PBS.
