| Abstract: | Includes song and music books, sheet music, and books, programs, articles, and brochures on folk dances and music, primarily of Mexico; a folk
drama; correspondence; outlines and notes for folk dance and posadas productions; choreography for specific dances; and photographs. These
materials, dating chiefly from 1935 through 1959, reflect Collier's interest in Mexican folklore, especially folk dance and the tradition of
las posadas, and document her work in reviving las posadasand establishing Mexican cultural awareness at Carrillo School.
This collection was a 1977 gift to the Southwest Folklore Archives from Mrs. Betty Sagerstrom. This collection was previously titled SWF 005. | |
