During 1987-1988, the American Folklife Center and Lowell Historic Preservation Commission conducted the Lowell Folklife Project in partnership with the Massachusetts Council on Arts and Humanities to record the lives of contemporary ethnic neighborhoods and occupations as they relate to the history of the Industrial Revolution in Lowell, Massachusetts.
This year-long study yielded an ethnographic collection covering a wide range of subjects and activities, including neighborhood tours, ethnic restaurants, parades, musical events, and religious services and festivals.
