Collections - MF 027 Edward D. Ives Collection
MF 027 Edward D. Ives Collection of Manuscripts and Interviews
The Edward D. Ives Collection of Manuscripts and Interviews is divided into two parts. The first part was originally organized in September 1999 by Steve Green and includes approximately 20 gray archival document cases containing papers received from Sandy Ives upon his retirement from 44 years of service at the University of Maine. A preliminary organizational outline for these papers has been created in the summer of 1999.
Also, there are two archival storage cartons containing off prints and photocopied articles mostly written by and given to Sandy by his colleagues in the field of folklore. A database containing bibliographic entries for the off prints has been compiled in the summer of 1999.
An addition to the Edward D. Ives Collection has been made with the arrival of more of his papers to the archive in the summer of 2006. These papers are contained in a new series, Series 6 Home Papers. This series represent many of the papers that Ives has kept at his home over the years and the research that he has done since his retirement in 1999. Sub-series include Correspondence and Records, Ernest Kennedy Research, Wilmot MacDonald Research, Miscellaneous Research, Prince Edward Island Research, Reviews, and Addie Weed and Veazie Research. Series 6 Home Papers comprises 10 gray archival document cases, increasing the total number of gray archival boxes in the collection from 20 to 30. The folder names and sub-series organization have been maintained with few alterations. The folders within the sub-series have been alphabetized and some bracketed information is included in this preliminary inventory for ease of searching.
The second part of the Edward D. Ives Collection of Manuscripts and Interviews consists of fieldwork from 1955 to 1999 done by Ives and a variety of interviews which he conducted.
Additionally, there are numerous individual accessions which may be assigned to the Edward D. Ives Collection (MF 027) after further analysis. These may be viewed by searching on “Ives” in the Accessions database while using the “Short List” or “Status Report” layout. It isn’t practical at the time of writing to definitively assign these accessions to MF 027 without first discovering their possible links to other already established collections.
See also the description created before 1986 of the series of tape recordings already identified as the Ives Collection in the The Northeast Archives of Folklore and Oral History: A Catalog of the First 1800 Accessions published in 1986 by the Northeast Folklore Society. A copy of this publication may be found in the Maine Folklife Center office at the University of Maine in Orono. These first 1800 accessions are also searchable on the University of Maine’s library search engine URSUS.

Description: The Edward D.

Sub-series 7.1: Recordings 1956-1970 consists of the tapes and transcripts of Edward D. “Sandy” Ives’s fieldwork in Maine, New Hampshire, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island between 1956 and 1970.

This material was gathered in preparation for Ives’s books Larry Gorman: The Man Who Made the Songs (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1964; reprinted New York: Arno Press, 1977); Lawrence Doyle: the Farmer_Poet of Prince Edward Island (Orono: University of Maine Press, 1971); and Joe Scott: The Woodsman Songmaker (Champaign: University of Illinois Press, 1978). The series also includes interviews dealing with all aspects of woods work. The accessions in this series are numbered Ives 1.1-1.155, 56.1, 57.1-2, 58.1, 59.1-3, 6.1, 62.1-4, 63.1, 64.4-9, 65.1-23, 66.1-12, 67.1-3.68.1-8, 69.1-4; 70.1-10.

Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1988), and Wilbur Day (Wilbur Day (1864-1924), Hunter Guide, and Poacher: An Autobiography. Northeast Folklore 26 (1986).
