Subject: L.O.C. info on May customs
Another tip transferred here from the Ballad-L, with thanks to Heather Wood:
The Library of Congress has a nice on-line video presentation on English and Anglo-American May customs, including May pole and morris dancing, as documented in the James Madison Carpenter and Anthony G. Barrand collections in the Archive of Folk Culture. There are links to more information, too. Click here.
