In 1990, former Salisbury University Student Elizabeth Miller collected folk material. Her project focuses on the folklife of the Mennonite Community. Her paper describes in details the way of living of Mennonites, explaining in the process the main differences between the more conservative Old Order Mennonites and the progressive Mennonites. In addition to the background essay, she also interviewed several people to inquire about the influence of being a Mennonite on their career. Two of her informants were artists. Another interview involves two students engaged into a feminist movement at Goshen College.
