Edward D. “Sandy” Ives Collection: Research Record Group 1
Scope and Contents
MF167.1 consists of interviews conducted by Edward D. "Sandy" Ives on Prince Edward Island between 1969 and 1970, as part of his work to document the folk songs of Prince Edward Island, specifically the songs “made by” Joe Scott, Larry Doyle, and Larry Gorman. Material included in this collection served as source material for Ives’ later publications, Lawrence Doyle: The Farmer-Poet of Prince Edward Island (1971); Larry Gorman: The Man Who Made the Songs (1977); Joe Scott: The Woodman Songmaker (1978); and Drive Dull Care Away: Folksongs from Prince Edward Island (1999). This collection includes recordings of interviews, Ives' field journal, and 17 photographs taken by Ives.

Clarification of Special Collections Holdings
To clarify Fogler Library Special Collections holdings of Northeast Archives of Folklore and Oral History (NAFOH) materials, the collection record for MF167.1 was updated in February 2022 by Kimberly Sawtelle. The update was conducted to 1. align the series numbering with all NAFOH holdings; 2. remove cross-referenced numbering for research materials held by the Archives of Traditional Music (ATM), Indiana University; and 3. to incorporate recordings overlooked during the original cataloging. Previous versions of the collection file remain unaltered and available as mf167 1.1 long description.pdf and mf167 1.1 short description.
Collection Note
Maine Folklife Center founder, Edward D. “Sandy” Ives, was a prolific researcher. Due to the volume of his research materials, Ives’ work is divided into three separate collections within the Northeast Archives of Folklore and Oral History at Fogler Library Special Collections, University of Maine: MF027, MF167.1, and MF167.2. Digital files for these holdings can be found online at https://archives.library.umaine.edu/repositories/5.
To help clarify matters related to confusion over the original numbering and ownership of materials included in MF167.1, in 2022 Fogler Library Special Collections assigned NA series numbers to individual interviews in addition to enhancing some interview descriptions. In many cases, Ives’ original notes, with minor clarifications, are included in these descriptions. The use of the NA numbering system creates consistency in the cataloging of the Ives holdings and the full holdings of Northeast Folklore Archives.
