This series consists of materials documenting the Folk Arts in the Schools Program, a project created by the Historical Association of Southern Florida (now HistoryMiami Museum) and Dade County Public Schools to cultivate local students’ appreciation for traditional and folk arts of various ethnic groups. The program was intended to develop students’ aesthetic sensibilities and self-esteem by presenting high-quality examples of traditional arts created by skilled practitioners, as well as expanding students’ knowledge of folk arts as distinct from art forms normally taught in the schools. Schools with large ethnic and minority populations were targeted for participation. An initial pilot project developed curriculum materials based on fieldwork and bibliographic research derived from “Traditions: The South Florida Folk Festival” (HMF9004) and specifically tailored to the needs of the Haitian, Latino, and African-American students in Edison Senior High School in Miami. The program was led by Tina Bucuvalas, then Folklife curator for The Historical Association of Southern Florida and supported by grants from Arts in Education Program of the Florida Arts Council the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). In 1987, Bucuvalas wrote a teacher guide for a folk arts course and collaborated with teacher Connie Favret to create exercises aimed at elementary and secondary students; subsequently, Buculvalas and Favret conducted classroom sessions and teacher workshops. Materials include: program proposals, agreements, budgets, and correspondence; notes and evaluations; and photographic prints, as well as 35mm slides, and contact sheets.

This series consists of documents related to a project in which a group of high school students of Indo-Caribbean descent living in South Florida conducted field work in their community using photography and video. Since the 1980s, thousands of East Indians from Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname, and Jamaica settled in South Florida. They continued to practice Indo-Caribbean cultural traditions, while also adjusting to an American way of life. Throughout 1999, ten high school students from the Indo-Caribbean community conducted a year-long project in collaboration with the Historical Museum of Southern Florida (now HistoryMiami Museum) and the Documentary Unit at the University of Miami to use photography and video, which co-produced the project. The students were taught how to use cameras and camcorders, they then documented cultural activities in their community with a focus on Hindu worship and celebrations. Events documented included puja worship services, weddings, interviews, and the Phagwa festival. The project was supported by a grant from the Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Community Folklife Program. Materials include: grant-related documents including proposals and reports; photographic images; an audiocassette tape recording of the student’s responses to a rough cut of a documentary video; and videocassette tapes of original footage and a final version of a documentary based on the project in VHS and Betacam SP formats.
