Welcome to the homepage of the Florida Folklore Society. We would like to take this
opportunity to introduce the University of Central Florida (UCF) Cultural Heritage Alliance,
an organization that seeks new and meaningful ways to bring the Central Florida community
together by celebrating the region’s rich diversity through education, technology-based
heritage projects, folklife research, preservation and network-building. Dr. Kristin Congdon
is Director and Dr. Natalie Underberg is Program Coordinator.
The Cultural Heritage Alliance began in 2002 as a joint effort of the UCF College of Arts and
Sciences and the Department of State, Florida Folklife Program. Now centered in the new UCF School of Film and Digital Media,
the Alliance is proud to host the Florida Folklore Society for a two-year period beginning
August 2003. As part of our commitment, the Alliance is organizing this year’s Florida
Folklore Society Annual Meeting.
