The Society of Folk Life Studies is the only organisation in Britain that brings together curators, historians, geographers, musicologists, linguists and many other people to explore the regional identity of the British Isles and beyond. Founded in 1961, the Society currently boasts an international membership of around five hundred people and institutions. Its main activities are organising conferences and study days as well as publishing a refereed annual journal, Folk Life. Members maintain an important informal network of expertise and resources in areas such as:
- traditional crafts
- costume and material culture
- vernacular architecture
- landscape studies
- custom and tradition.
