The National Endowment for the Arts awarded Stan Woodward a “Creativity in Folklife” grant to enable him to set apart the time to select and edit important Southern culture and folk heritage works contained in more than 1,500 hours in The Woodward Studio Folk Heritage Video Archive. This archive contains footage gathered since 1995 – the year Stan returned to documenting Southern folk heritage foodways and folk culture and their tradition bearers. The grant was in recognition of the rare and insightful record of these traditions with Southern culture in transition and many traditions disappearing. The works contained in the five volume disc-set range from shorts under ten minutes in length to full feature length documentaries (The Olgers Chronicle and The Morris Chronicle). These Volumes are available for purchase individually, or as a set; and some works can be purchased individually. (See “Purchase Information”).
