Creation/Production
Vincent H Phillips was the Keeper of the Department of Oral Traditions and Dialect. He was appointed to the museum in 1957 and was responsible for collecting and recording Wales's oral traditions, dialects, folk songs, and other aspects of traditional culture.
His contribution to St Fagans was particularly significant because he helped establish the museum's programme of recording oral history and folk culture at a time when many traditional customs, songs, and dialect forms were disappearing. By 1960, he aimed to document all aspects of Welsh folk life through interviews, sound recordings, photographs, and printed material.
