Student Fieldworker's Kit

Fieldwork is essential to the discipline of folklore and is a key component to MUNFLA as an archive. Contributions from students, based on fieldwork and written assignments, are the foundation of our collection. The forms and templates below were designed for use to conduct your fieldwork and donate the corresponding research to the Archive.

Should you have any questions about these forms or difficulties accessing them, please contact us.
