Series: HREC-0024 Myles Horton Collection of Folk School Records, 1929-1996
Physical Description: 3.2 cubic feet (8 archives boxes). 
Scope and Content Note: This record group contains Myles Horton's lifelong research on folk schools and other adult education programs throughout the world, with a special focus on North American and Danish schools. While some materials predate Horton's founding of the Highlander Center in 1932, most were created and collected between 1932 and Horton's death in 1990. Additional materials were added to some folders after Horton's death. Materials include articles, catalogs and promotional materials, personal observations, correspondence, and records from folk school conferences.
