About Florida Memory Radio

Florida Memory Radio is presented by the Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services, State Archives of Florida.  It is part of the Florida Memory Program, whose mission is to provide free online access to a growing number of archival resources from the collections of the State Library and Archives.

Florida Memory Radio provides worldwide, around-the-clock access to the Florida Folklife Collection recordings housed in the State Archives of Florida. Programming includes bluegrass & old-time, blues, folk, gospel, Latin and world music. Through the work of folklorists and archivists, as well as the legacy of creation passed on to future generations by the artists themselves, this music is preserved and enjoyed.

Florida Folklife Collection

This collection consists of more than 90 individual series that document performances and interviews with the folk musicians, artisans, storytellers, and folklife interpreters preserving the cultural legacy of Florida’s peoples and their traditions. In addition to the research files of the Florida Folklife Program, the collection also includes recordings and images from the annual Florida Folk Festival, the nation’s longest continuously running folk festival.
