The Gambier Folklore Society was founded at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, in 1971, in order to support traditional artists in Ohio.  The Society is dedicated to uniting the traditional arts with the broader community in order to strengthen regional folk traditions.

The collection, donated to the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage in 2016, consists of a field recording, field notes, production notes, and documentation for the 1985-released LP “Seems Like Romance to Me: Traditional Fiddle Tunes from Ohio.”
