Thread Name: D. K. Wilgus Collection online
Subject: RE: D. K. Wilgus collection available online
He gave a talk at the first University of Chicago Folk Festival -- 1961. I recall that his positions reflected an openness on his part to including certain revival aspects of folklore collection that surprised me at the time. Don't get me wrong, he was no Archie Green. But his talk did lead me to look for his book titled something like Anglo-American Scholarship Since... (whenever).

(I thought it lacked a good plot ;-)

Thanks for that link!
