Northeast Folklore volume 5: Twenty-One Folksongs From Prince Edward Island
Edward D. Ives
From the introduction by Edward D. "Sandy" Ives: "The twenty-one songs printed in this little volume are a representative sample of the songs I collected on Prince Edward Island during the summers of 1957, 1958, and 1963. ... As a matter of fact, I wasn't even "collecting songs" in the usual sense of that term; I was very specifically looking for songs by Larry Gorman and for biographical. Information about him, and when L wasn't asking about Larry Gorman I was asking about Joe Scott. Thus the present collection is neither the result of my general acquaintance with the traditions of the whole Island nor of intensive research in a limited area. It is made up mostly of the songs people sang me while I was looking for something else."

Northeast Folklore volume 4: Eight Folktales From Miramichi
Edward D. Ives, Wilmot MacDonald, and Louise Manny
Volume 4 of Northeast Archives marked a change in the publication. No longer was it published in four editions throughout the year with a variety of small articles, but now it was a single monograph published generally once a year. The focus of the first monograph is Wilmot MacDonald, a singer and storyteller from Miramichi, New Brunswick. Helen Creighton and Edward D. Ives had both collected from MacDonald and this publication came from their collaboration on that material.

The monograph series Northeast Folklore was first edited by Edward D. "Sandy" Ives and published by the Northeast Folklore Society under the auspices of the University of Maine Department of English. The publication began in 1958 as a quarterly publication, and was dedicated to the collection, preservation, study, and publication of folklore and oral history anchored in the cultural traditions of people living in New England and the Maritimes. Northeast Folklore marks the foundational work of Sandy Ives in the field of Northeastern American Folklore and extended to his creation of the Northeast Archives of Folklore and Oral History and culminated with creation of the Maine Folklife Center in 1992.
