Eloise Hubbard Linscott (December 29, 1897 – 1978) was a 20th-century American folklorist, song collector, and preservationist.
John Lee Brooks described Folk Songs of Old New England as an American equivalent of Bishop Percy's 1765 work Reliques of Ancient English Poetry.
[2][1] Although she continued her research and fieldwork with the intention of publishing other books, Folk Songs of Old New England was Linscott's only publication.
[2] Over the course of her career, Linscott gathered approximately 2500 recordings on cylinders, discs, and tapes, as well as other materials.
She married Charles Hardy Linscott in 1921; they lived in Needham, Massachusetts, and spent summers in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire.
