Joseph Bruchac Archive
A growing archive of more than sixty years of writing, storytelling, publishing, teaching, family history, photographs, correspondence, music, language work, and community memory.
The Joseph Bruchac Archive brings together the life and work of writer, storyteller, poet, editor, publisher, educator, and musician Joseph Bruchac, along with the people, places, histories, and generations that have shaped that work.
This is not a finished collection. Materials continue to be rediscovered, digitized, researched, identified, corrected, and added. Some have been preserved in our family for generations. Others have only recently emerged from boxes, bookshelves, photograph albums, diaries, correspondence, and the attic of our family home on Splinterville Hill.
Through Generations, we are gradually making this material accessible and connecting individual stories and objects to the larger history from which they came.
The archive is a work in progress.

“I also cannot forget another of my teachers—the land I've been fortunate to live on throughout most of my life. My wife Carol, our sons Jim and Jesse, and I live in the house I was raised in, a house built by my grandfather on the foundation of another house owned by my great-grandparents before it was destroyed in a fire. The house stands on land where they once made ash baskets, and long before that, was farmed and hunted by Mohawk people. Indian corn grew and still grows here. Nearby Saratoga Springs was a place sacred to the Iroquois people for its healing spring at the High Rock. They called it “The Medicine Spring of the Great Spirit.” If it is true that all of our stories come first from the earth, then I have been blessed with good earth to listen.” — Joseph Bruchac, 1985
