     This finding aid describes the Archive of Folk Culture's
unpublished ethnographic collections that document the
traditional music and other aspects of Minnesota folklife.
     Throughout this finding aid you will encounter several
abbreviations.  AFS and AFC numbers refer to the sequential
numbering of sound recordings and other formats cataloged and
controlled by the Archive of Folk Culture.  LWO, RW, and RY
numbers are shelflist designations for cassettes and tapes.  All
indications of time duration are estimates.
     The compiler offers thanks to Judith A. Gray, Carol B.
Moran, and David A. Taylor for their assistance, and to Douglas
B. Legg, who compiled an earlier version of the finding aid in
1982.
     Information on listening to and obtaining copies of the
recordings listed in this finding aid is contained in _A Guide to
the Collections of Recorded Folk Music and Folklore in the
Library of Congress_.  This guide and a catalog with information
about ordering the Library's published recordings of folk music
and folklore are available upon request from the Archive of Folk
Culture, American Folklife Center, Library of Congress,
