Introduction:

The 1975 Festival (June 25-29 and July 2-6) again took place in the western part of the National Mall to the south of the Reflecting Pool, between 17th and 23rd Streets (see site plan). It was co-organized by the Smithsonian Institution, Division of Performing Arts (James R. Morris, Director; Richard Lusher, Deputy Director) and the National Park Service (Gary Everhardt, Director). Ralph Rinzler was Director of the Festival, and Robert Byington was Deputy Director of the Festival. Mack McCormick served as Consultant for Bicentennial Planning. The 1975 and 1976 Festivals were sponsored by American Airlines and General Foods.

The 1975 Festival included seven programs, with cross-Festival presentations on the Festival Stage. The 1975 Program Book provided information on each of the programs, as well as a schedule and participant lists.

Summary:

A collection primarily of 19th and early 20th century lantern slides relating mostly to engineering, agriculture, railroads, mining, and extractive industries collected by the Division of Work and Industry, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution.

Scope and Contents:

A collection of 19th and early 20th century silver gelatin dry plate lantern slides acquired by the staff of the Division of Work and Industry, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution. These materials were collected for research purposes and relate to various subjects.

Condition of the material varies widely with some fragile or broken slides. Poor quality images also exist probably due to unstable storage environments or the processing of the slides. All slides have been digitized and moved to off-site storage to minimize handling and at the same time increase accessibility.

The collection is arranged in nine series: series 1, engineering; series 2, extractive industries; series 3, chemical; series 4, manufacturing companies; series 5, machinery; series 6, railroads; series 7, agriculture; series 8, travel photography; and 9, miscellaneous materials.

Introduction:

The 1968 Festival saw a large program of music and dance performances, in three venues: a Ballads Stage, a City-Country Stage, and a Main Stage. As with the 1967 Festival, the majority of the performers represented Anglo American and African American traditions, but there were also Lummi, Basque, and Serbian dance groups, as well as a Louisiana French ballad singer and a Native American singer and storyteller. Anglo American performers presented old-time string band music as well as bluegrass, ballads and various instrumental traditions. African American traditions ranged from a country songster and a fife-and-drum group to Muddy Waters' Chicago blues band and the Preservation Hall Band of New Orleans. Concerts were complemented by more informal workshops in which participants spoke about their cultural traditions and the importance of maintaining them. Evening concerts on the Main Stage presented a diversity of traditions and - to close the Festival - a tribute to the John A. Lomax Family that featured the diverse Texas performers.
