This is a supplement to the bibliography published in American Ballads and Folk Songs (1934). The intention is to list the most important books and pamphlets of American folk songs which have been published since that date, together with a few of the most valuable articles which have appeared in the Journal of American Folk-Lore (JAFL) and the Southern Folklore Quarterly (SFQ). If space permitted, the list might be extended greatly by adding titles of choral and solo arrangements. The bibliographer is Harold W. Thompson of Cornell University, who has found these works useful in his courses in American folk literature, conducted at Cornell University and at the New York College for Teachers at Albany.
