Accessing Waterford Folklore
The Irish Folklore Commission, through its schools scheme in 1937/1938, carried out its oral folklore project with the help of 
primary school children and covered the 26 counties of Ireland. Waterford County Library has a copy of the microfilm that relates to County Waterford.
An index of participating schools, valuable as a starting point to research, is available to download:
