The Wayland D. Hand Collection of Superstition and Popular Belief is an extensive compilation of categorized and cross-referenced folk beliefs, spanning approximately 600 linear feet. Compiled by Wayland D. Hand, his colleagues, and students during his tenure at UCLA, the collection includes over 600,000 3x5 index cards, each documenting a belief with minimal contextual or informant data. Beliefs were gathered from a wide range of sources, including published works, oral reports, and ephemeral materials. The cards are organized alphabetically in ten card file cabinets. The collection was donated to Utah State University by UCLA and, due to its size, is accessible only in the Fife Room of Utah State University's Special Collections and Archives.
