Established in the Library of Congress in 1976 by the American Folklife Preservation Act (Public Law 94-201), The American Folklife Center (AFC) is home to significant ethnographic collections documenting traditional cultural practices in the United States and around the world, Throughout these collections, children's voices can be heard in the form of playground ritual and games, lullabies and songs, as well as through oral history and storytelling documentation. This guide serves as a starting point to explore resources related to children's materials and representation in a variety of languages from collections spanning the globe. Collections of interest that are available online can be found on the Digital Collections page, and the guide also contains links to online resources such as podcasts or event videos that offer examples of children's traditions and cultural practices. Additional collections of note available for research in the American Folklife Center Reading Room are listed in the Searching the Collections page of this guide.
