The Minnesota Folk Arts Collection features music-related items from the Minnesota Folk Arts (Philip Nusbaum) Collection, which emerged from John Berquist's and Philip Nusbaum's documentary work during their tenures as Folk Arts Program associates at the Minnesota State Arts Board in the 1980s and 1990s. The material includes photographs, field recordings and documentation representing indigenous groups in Minnesota such as Ojibwas, immigrant groups from North and Central America, northern, western, and eastern Europe, the Mediterranean and Middle East, Africa, and Asia, with an emphasis on bluegrass, polka, Ojibwa, Norwegian-American, Latino, African-American, Hmong-American, and Slovenian-American musical traditions.
Original collection materials reside in the Center for the Study of Upper Midwestern Cultures.
