The English Folk Dance and Song Society was formed in 1932 by the merger of two organisations, the Folk Song Society and the English Folk Dance Society formed by Cecil Sharp in 1911.

Decades later, the Society is active in providing support for educators, researchers and folk activists in music song and dance. It holds and maintains the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library, one the nations premier collections of folk books, manuscripts and recordings, and works to promote the folk music of England to the people of the world.
