language, the Pachuco language of Hispanic youths, and Yaqui Indian culture and customs. A
1964 gift to the Southwest Folklore Archives from George C. Barker, Sr. Deaccessioned from
the collection in 1993 were approximately 0.2 feet of duplicates and items of a personal
nature. In 1996 two 11 x 14 black-and-white photographs by Alfred A. Cohn were transferred
to the L. Marguerite Collier Collection, Southwest Folklore Center Manuscripts Collection MS
611. 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 004. The materials were
transferred to Special Collections in 2017. | | | | Repository: | University of Arizona Libraries, Special Collections | | | | Subjects: | Folk drama, Spanish American | Christmas plays | Prodigal son (Parable) -- Drama | Spanish language -- Dialects -- Arizona -- Tucson | Spanish language -- Social aspects -- Arizona -- Tucson | Spanish language -- Slang | Bilingualism -- Arizona -- Tucson | Mexican Americans -- Arizona -- Tucson -- Languages | Gangs -- Arizona -- Tucson | Yaqui Indians -- Mexico -- Hermosillo -- Rites and Ceremonies --
