I came on this in the listings for the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina (a wonderful place):

Olive Dame Campbell, Ballad Collector
David Brose, instructor
June 25 - July 1, 2006
   Olive Dame Campbell was a pioneer in the collection of narrative ballads and lyric folksongs that entered Appalachia from Britain. The book English Folksongs from the Southern Appalachians, co-authored by Olive Dame Campbell and England's Cecil Sharp, is a classic in ballad scholarship. We will examine Mrs. Campbell's collection of ballads and place her work in the context of ballad collection and study both before and after her influential activities in Appalachia.
