The photographs in this file have been mounted in groups according to particular subjects. Thus, there are two sheets of eight prints showing the construction and use of a hay creel (including duplicates of - LAVC/PHO/P0805 - LAVC/PHO/P0811 - LAVC/PHO/P0814); one sheet of five prints showing butter and cheesemaking (including duplicates of - LAVC/PHO/P1574 - LAVC/PHO/P1556 - LAVC/PHO/P1485 - LAVC/PHO/P1534 - LAVC/PHO/P1540); one sheet of three prints showing farm buildings; one sheet of five prints, labelled Haymaking in Dentdale (including duplicates of - LAVC/PHO/P1100 - LAVC/PHO/P1106 - LAVC/PHO/P1083 - LAVC/PHO/P1110 - LAVC/PHO/P1096); one sheet of three prints, labelled Words and Objects [relating to the cowhouse, and including duplicates of - LAVC/PHO/P0258 - LAVC/PHO/P0292 - LAVC/PHO/P0259]; one sheet of two prints showing mowing scythes (including duplicates of - LAVC/PHO/P0998 - LAVC/PHO/P0993); one sheet of six prints showing hay sledges/rakes (including duplicates of - LAVC/PHO/P1092 - LAVC/PHO/P1056 - LAVC/PHO/P1017 - LAVC/PHO/P1071 - LAVC/PHO/P1060). The file also contains two oversize, black and white photographs, mounted on card. These are LAVC/PHO/PC003(drystone wall landscape at Malham , 1962) [measures 37.5cm x 30cm], and a photograph of Stanley Ellis interviewing Tom Mason of Addingham Moorside (original print at LAVC/PHO/P2164). The label originally affixed to the box in which this item was held referred to this as The Fieldworker [measures 46.5cm x 38cm; 49.5cm x 40cm with mount]. These were removed from LAVC/ARC/3/4 because of their size. The file contains a number of items printed to accompany the photographs. These comprise the captions Institute of Dialect and Folk Life Studies, Folk Life, English Folk Life and Dialects, and a typed description of the work of the Institute. Two further items comprise a typed list of ten tape recorded extracts (including a title, description, name of informant and location recorded), titled Yorkshire Songs and Stories, and possibly relating to the session Interviewing with a Tape-Recorder at the 1975 Oral History conference (see LAVC/ARC/3/3); and a typed sheet headed Possible use for future exhibitions, listing a selection of slides of material culture and traditional methods of work. These include salmon fishing, domestic architecture, dry-stone walling, cheesemaking, salving sheep and sheepwashing. The description of each slide includes an A or B reference number (i.e. original Institute slide cabinet references - see LAVC/PHO/S).
