Emily Hilliard is a folklorist, writer, and media producer based at Berea College in Kentucky. In 2021, she received an Archie Green Fellowship to document U.S. mail carriers in Central Appalachia as part of the American Folklife Center’s Occupational Folklife Project. With insights gained from this project, Hilliard published an article on the Jacobin magazine, arguing that "USPS privatization would cost rural America more than mail."

Wiki Loves Folklore is an international photographic contest where the photographers can contribute media about their local folk culture to Wikimedia Commons under free licenses to be used on Wikipedia and any other places with attribution. The contest runs from February 1 through March 31, 2025. A separate Feminism and Folklore Writing Competition is held at the same time.
