The Bay Area Folk Harp Society is a chapter of the International Society of Folk Harpers & Craftsmen (ISFHC), centered in the San Francisco East Bay Area, in Berkeley. It is a guild of professionals and hobbyists who collectively provide a pool of harp expertise, mutual support, and outlets for musical exploration in the San Francisco Bay Area. They strive to foster an appreciation of the folk harp as a musical instrument and living cultural tradition.
 

The ISFHC was started in 1985 by a group of folks wanting to share their music, ideas and skills to further the musical capabilities of the folk harp. Almost uniquely, the folk harp community combines the world of the professional and novice player with that of the instrument maker. The Society exits to provide information, performance, and learning opportunities in the richness of the various forms of the harp as it is known throughout the world.
