The Lowell Folklife Project was conducted in 1987-1988 as a cooperative project of the American Folklife Center and the Lowell Historic Preservation Commission, with support from the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities, to document contemporary ethnic neighborhoods, occupations, and community life related to the history of industrialization in Lowell, Massachusetts.
This year-long study yielded an ethnographic collection covering a wide range of subjects and activities, including neighborhood tours, ethnic restaurants, parades, musical events, and religious services and festivals.
