Hi Stephanie, 

Here in Jersey, we engaged two scholars: one who is a PhD folklorist with 
experience curating exhibits on folk life, and another who handles all 
booking for the New Jersey Folk Festival (and is herself a harpist). We 
wanted the sites to have access both to scholarship and to a booking 
agent's rolodex and experience, to assist them with programming.

Cheers,

Chris
