When I was a lad at Southwest Missouri State, there was a project going on to record and collect the folk tales and folk songs from the backwoods folk. The idea being that the oldsters were dying off and their younger kin had no interest - so this project was collecting it before it was gone forever.
I know that there are a lot of early jazz and blues recordings available. I suspect the best stuff has already been preserved.
