The Fain Archives

The John C. Campbell Folk School’s Fain Archives preserves materials documenting the Folk School’s history as an organization and community center, spanning from its founding years in the early 20th century to the present day. Collected items include objects, documents, photographs, and audio/visual recordings. While focused on the Folk School itself, the collections also include materials from the Brasstown community and representative of traditional culture in Southern Appalachia.
