Technological change is accelerating and broadening. New materials are among the most dramatic areas of such change, and are increasingly being incorporated into existing and new industrial activity. Japan and the United States of America are leading the European economies in many areas of creation and use of new materials. Europe’s talent base in new materials is smaller and weaker than those of the U.S.A, and Japan. Strengthening that talent base through improvements in education and training, and in industry and university collaboration in particular, is Europe’s most pressing challenge in this area.

During the last decade, roughly 40 state folk cultural, or folklife, programs have emerged throughout the United States, and more are being developed. In most states, these programs are a component of the state arts agency; elsewhere they are based in universities, in historical societies, or in other branches of state government. Examples include the Alabama Folk Arts Program, the Missouri Cultural Heritage Center, the Office of Folklife Programs in North Carolina, the Southwestern Lore Center in Arizona, and the Traditional Arts Research and Development Program of Ohio. I work with the Bureau of Florida Folklife, which is part of the Florida Division of Archives, History, and Records Management.
