About Louis Jones
Louis Clark Jones was an American folklorist, historian, and museologist. In 1964, Jones created the Cooperstown Graduate Program, the first museum studies program in the United States, in collaboration with State University of New York at Oneonta and the New York State Historical Association. He was head of Association from 1947 until his retirement in 1972. Jones also developed a graduate level degree in American public folklore at Cooperstown, though this program was later abolished while the museum studies program remains.
