Description: Material collected by MFC founder Edward D. “Sandy” Ives or about him (for the latter, also see NA1636, NA2290, NA2301, NA2312, NA2390, NA2539.

The Maine Folklife Center founder, Edward D. “Sandy” Ives, was prolific in his work. Due to the volume of material, his work has been divided between two collections, this one and MF 027. This collection consists of fieldwork from 1955 to 1999 done by Ives and a variety of interviews which he conducted. MF 027 contains the materials that were given to the center both upon Ives’s retirement and his death. This collection was previously part of MF 027 as Series 7 (with sub-series 7.1 and 7.2), but was separated out in 2014 by the archives manager.

A note about some of the confusing numbering and ownership: Tapes 1.1 through 1.160 are owned by Indiana University. The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress doesn’t take the copyright of items it acquires, so tapes 56.1 through 70.10 still belong to the MFC. Here is the longer explanation, pulled from The Northeast Archives of Folklore and Oral History: A Catalog of the First 1800 Accessions p.176: “Complete transcriptions have been made of all these tapes, although transcripts are often in rough, not final form. Tapes 1.1 through 1.160 are also on deposit with the Archives of Traditional Music, 031 Maxwell Hall, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47401, as collection numbers F-164 and F-302, and their Archives Tape Library (ATL) are given in brackets at the end of each entry for all the items on that tape. Tapes 56.1 through 70.10 are also on deposit with the Archives of Folk Culture, American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540, and their numbering is given in brackets at the end of each entry, too. The final “T” number given is the Northeast Archives tape number.” These can be found a separate the “Ives Collection” database.

The Edward D. Ives interview series consists of two sub-series: 1.1, Fieldwork 1955-1970, (found in the “Ives Collection” database) which retains Ives’s original numbering system; and a variety of interviews conducted by Ives which are numbered consistent with other Maine Folklife Center accessions. SEE ALSO: MF 102 Miramichi Folksong Festival Collection. Sub-series 1.1: 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. Most of the accessions include recordings of songs and information on the people who made and sang them. 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.
