Folk Song Index:About

This is a new wikicity that is currently under development. Check back for information on North American folk music, particularly meta information regarding the singers and peoples involved in collected and documented folk music. Thematic Catalogue entries for important songs collected in New England and the Maritime provinces of Canada will be posted shortly. Thanks for your support!

The idea of this wiki is to compile a large assortment of information related to a selected number of songs and create a cross-referencing system that enables the researcher to draw implicit information from seemingly unrelated data sets. Current research in North American folk music does not utilize GIS systems and multi-layered visual representations of their data. This wikicity hopes to create a multidisciplinary bridge from which new and exciting research may be conducted.
