of California Press, Berkeley, _Western Folklore_, a
quarterly.

Folklore Quarterly_. Levette J. Davidson of the University of
Denver, author of _A Guide to American Folklore_, University
of Denver Press, 1951, directs the Western Folklore
Conference. The _Journal of American Folklore_ has published a
good deal from the Southwest and Mexico. The Sociedad
Folklorica de Mexico publishes its own _Anurio_. Between 1929
and 1932, B. A. Botkin, editor of _A Treasury of Southern
Folklore_, 1949, and A _Treasury of Western Folklore_, 1951
(Crown, New York), brought out four volumes entitled _Folk-
Say_, University of Oklahoma Press. OP. The volumes are
significant for literary utilizations of folklore and
interpretations of folks.

MUSEUMS

Museums do not belong to the DAR. Their perspective on the
past is constructive. The growing museums in Santa Fe, Tucson,
Phoenix, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas,
Austin, Denver, and on west into California represent the art,
fauna, flora, geology, archeology, occupations,
transportation, architecture, and other phases of the
Southwest in a way that may be more informing than many
printed volumes.
