Collier, 1884-1977
(bulk 1935-1959) ead | | | | Date(s): | 1884-1977 | | | | 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 is part of the Southwest Folklore Center
collection. The Southwest Folklore Center was founded in 1979 after the dissolution
of the University of Arizona Folklore Committee and collected information about folk
communities, arts, music, and other humanities-related materials. This collection
was previously SWF 005. The materials were transferred to Special Collections in
2017. | | | | Repository: | University of Arizona Libraries, Special Collections | | | | Subjects: | Women teachers -- Arizona -- Tucson --
