[Notes]
The John Edwards Memorial Foundation, which operated 1962-1983, was located at the University of Calif. at Los Angeles. The foundation's goal was to promote the study of twentieth-century American folk music. In 1983, the Foundation was dissolved, and a successor organization, the John Edwards Memorial Forum, was established. Correspondence, chiefly 1964-1982, dealing with everyday business of the John Edwards Memorial Forum and its predecessor organization, the John Edwards Memorial Foundation. Letters include subscription, record, reprint, and pamphlet purchase requests, as well as requests for biographical, historical, and discographical information. Files relating to record reissues, reprints, and pamphlets contain written descriptions of much of the material involved. Records of various federal grants are fairly comprehensive, containing proposal drafts, correspondence, and financial figures. There is little material about the "JEMF Quarterly" or the "JEMF Newsletter." The photographic materials depict musicians from a variety of musical traditions circa 1930s-1980s and were originally used to accompany educational materials generated by the JEMF in the 1970s. Miscellaneous items cover a wide range of subjects, from testimonials praising the Foundation to checkbook registries, 1963-1979.
