Established in 2007, the Archive of Alabama Folk Culture houses and makes available the body of fieldwork gathered by the Alabama Folklife Association and the Alabama Center for Traditional Culture at the Alabama State Council on the Arts.

The collection represents over thirty years of fieldwork and contains primary sources on Alabama foodways, music, folklore, and materials like quilts and pottery. Contents include photographs, audio recordings, slides, documents, papers, and ephemera. The collection is accessible online or on site at the Alabama Department of Archives and History in Montgomery.
