Biographical History
Luiz Heitor Corrêa de Azevedo (1905-1992) is recognized as the most significant Brazilian musicologist of the twentieth century. As a professor and composer, he taught at major French, Latin American, and American universities. Azevedo worked with the Department of Cultural Affairs within UNESCO, and served as Chief of the Cooperation Services with International Cultural Organizations. The International Music Council (IMC), a UNESCO supported global network of experts working in the field of music, made him a Member of Honour, and he was awarded the UNESCO/International Music Council Music Prize in 1977.
Azevedo's involvement in folk culture began in 1937, leading to a chair in National Folklore at Rio de Janeiro's National Institute of Music. In 1941, he visited Washington, D.C., as a guest of the Pan-American Union and returned to Brazil with recording equipment loaned to him by the Library of Congress. He undertook expeditions throughout Brazil to document the variety of Brazilian folk music. These collections of recordings are now part of the Archive of Folk Culture at the American Folklife Center. In 1997, some of the songs were released by Rykodisc as

Scope and Content
The collection contains publications pertaining to Latin American folklore and musical traditions collected by Luiz Heitor Corrêa de Azevedo, Brazilian folklorist and musicologist. The collection comprises monographs, articles, bibliographies, conference proceedings, and other publications about folk music, musical instruments, popular music, dance, folklore, food traditions, proverbs, children's folklore, traditional and folk medicine, local religious celebrations (including Christmas, Epiphany, and Easter) and devotions to various saints, Cuban santeria, Afro-Brazilian traditions, and anthropological studies of indigenous people of Brazil, among other topics. Most publications are about Brazil but some are about folk culture in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Many of the publications are dedicated to topics that appear in the Brazilian tradition of literatura de cordel. The items often contain marginal notes by Azevedo and inscriptions from the authors to Azevedo.
Arrangement
The publications have been arranged in alphabetical order by author. Each publication was then assigned a unique identifying number and contains a flag indicating that unique number. Many of the publications contain inscriptions from authors and marginal notes by Azevedo. All of the items with inscriptions are noted in the bibliography.
