orphan date March 2010 Applied folklore is the branch of folkloristics concerned with the study and use of folklore and traditional culture cultural materials to address or solve real social problems. The term was coined in 1939 in a talk by folklorist Benjamin A. Botkin who, along with Alan Lomax , became the foremost proponent of this approach over the next thiry years. Applied folklore is similar in its rationale and approach to applied anthropology and other applied social science s, and like these other applied approaches often distinguishes itself from pure research, that which has no explicit problem solving aims. Botkin s development of the approach emerged from his work on the collecting by the Federal Writers Project of oral history oral narratives of former slaves , when he worked for the Library of Congress . He saw the dissemination of these materials as having the potential to improve race relations in the United States and to combat prejudice. The abolitionism Abolition movement had similarly used the oral narratives of escaped slaves, such as those collected by William Still in his Underground Railroad Records , to draw support for their cause. Botkin s landmark work, Lay My Burden Down book Lay My Burden Down 1945 was the first American book to treat oral testimony testimonies as historiography historical evidence , and it was another thirty years before this became accepted practice. Botkin also worked with Religious Society of Friends Quaker activist Rachel Davis DuBois to develop public programs to improve race and ethnic relations by incorporating cultural practices and materials into neighborhood events, such as festivals and block parties.
