Are you a traditional musician? Gospel singer? Bluegrass picker? Maybe your neighbor makes traditional stuffed grape leaves, the best beans and cornbread, or roti from their grandparents’ recipe. Do you know of a community elder whose stories should be documented?

The West Virginia Folklife Program’s new hotline, reached toll free at 1(844)618-3747, is an outlet where West Virginians can share information about local traditional artists, craftspeople, musicians, cooks, or elders, or contribute a traditional song, story, or other piece of folklore or community tradition. Read more about the hotline via our press release.
