American Folklore Society
The American Folklore Society (AFS) is the US-based professional association for folklorists, with members from the US, Canada, and around the world. According to the ''Bylaws of the American Folklore Society'', the society aims to: encourage research, aid in disseminating that research, promote the responsible application of that research, publish various forms of publications, advocate for the continued study and teaching of folklore, etc.〔("Bylaws of the American Folklore Society" ), Retrieved 25 May 2013.〕 At present, almost half of its 2,200 members practice their work outside of higher education. In addition to professors, members include museum curators, librarians, arts administrators, freelance researchers, and others involved in the study and promotion of folklore and traditional culture. The Society is based at the Ohio State University and has an annual convention every October. The Society's quarterly publication is the ''Journal of American Folklore'', currently edited by Thomas A. DuBois and James P. Leary.
