Benjamin Botkin headed the Library of Congress's Archive of American Folksong (now the American Folklife Center) between 1943 and 1945 and previously served as national folklore editor of the Federal Writers' Project (1938-39), a program of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal during the Depression. Botkin was one of the New Deal folklorists who persuasively argued that folklore was relevant in the present and that it was not something that should be studied merely for its historical value. He died in 1975.
