About

In September 2025, the American Folklife Center (AFC) held a three-day symposium to celebrate awardees of the Community Collection Grant (CCG) program and their documentation projects. In session three (of six), Russell Oliver presents about his CCG project, “Documenting the Stories, Agricultural Traditions, and Culture of Specialty Coffee Farmers in Puerto Rico.” Yvette Cohn Storr describes her work documenting dance traditions of Hispanic communities in New Mexico. Session three concludes with a Q&A among the presenters, moderated by John Rice (Board of Trustees, American Folklife Center). The Community Collections Grants program is a core component for the Library of Congress’ Of the People: Widening the Path initiative, supported by the Mellon Foundation. Since 2022, the American Folklife Center has supported twenty-nine CCG projects, enabling community members to document contemporary music, dance, crafts, food traditions, community celebrations and sacred events in communities across a range of geographical contexts in the United States.
