The website includes information about the program and available products as well as educational resources and an online version of "Smithsonian Folkways Magazine."

It includes biographical information, discography, song lists, awards, images, videos, and news related to Ella Jenkins. Due to technical issues, some videos may be missing from this accession. The "Spirit of Seeger" website was crawled on March 17, 2020. It was created for what would have been Pete Seeger's 100th birthday celebration in 2019. It includes a calendar of events, biographical information, discography, album art, images, and videos. Due to technical issues, some videos may be missing from this accession. Materials are in electronic format.
