The Folklore Society (FLS) is a UK charity dedicated to the study of folklore and traditional culture.
Established in 1878 and based in London, the Folklore Society studies all aspects of folklore and popular religion, including music, arts and crafts, folk medicine, children’s folklore and food. Its library and archives, held at University College London, comprises around 12,000 texts on British and global folklore. The Folklore Society has published the academic journal Folklore since 1890, and has also published a variety of books. The FLS website provides resources including articles, podcasts and selected journal entries. FLS also hosts regular talks from academics on different folklore-related topics (note: all events are online at the time of writing).
