FOLKLIFE TRADITIONS

Our aims include stimulating a wider interest in folk studies & folk culture:  the FT pages.  For each issue: cover + a list of contents below.

​To read FOLKLIFE TRADITIONS PAGES.
In print
 is best, as it is a print publication.
You can support us by subscribing; we call this "Folklife Membership", it costs £21 a year (posted or PDF) see Contact & Contribute webpage
  • ​For more details, please contact [email protected]         Eleanor & Sam Simmons, 16/1/2020​
Online; you can access FT online, free, by downloading PDFs.
We can send per-issue files by WeTransfer, this is time-consuming for us, so that's £3 per file.
For earlier issues, we did also have e-magazines but we're now having problems with that format. So we added PDFs for earlier issues as well.
Additionally, for the current issue only, copies of the print pages are shown on ​"This issue online" webpage.
ALL ISSUES can now be downloaded as PDFs.​    ALSO as E-MAGAZINES for EARLIER FTs, up to and including JANUARY 2018, FT 56
PDFs; plus e-magazines on e-magazine site, https://issuu.com/traditions-uk where you will find a list of issues -  this page all available as e-magazines to read online.
FWJ - Folklife West Journal - was published separately and irregularly (due to work demands) , then as regularly as pages within Folklife magazine.


Issuu is an e-magazine format, which we relied on for years, till it suddenly wouldn't work when I tried to add to it... Still works for you reading FT 56 and earlier; you can't download from that site, only from this page as PDFs.  So, if you go to our e-magazine site, https://issuu.com/traditions-uk, you will find a list of issues up to January 2018, FT 56 - all available as e-magazines to read online.   We can't update that site.
​
​Note on print vs online availability of articles and copyright pictures - Articles by Dave Jones and Charles Menteith are not available on Issuu.
Articles by Charles Menteith are being added to downloadable PDFs on this site. This is an ongoing process and not complete due to the problems of older magazines using Apple fonts that have been discontinued & converting to modern fonts before saving as PDFs. For individual articles, contact us, we may have a Pdf of article that we can send even if not on PDF below.
Articles by Dave Jones. Taken from his book The Roots of Welsh Border Morris, £5 by post from Annie Jones, see adverts in FT or contact us for Annie's details.
Additionally sometimes we have copyright restrictions eg in one case high-resolution permission granted for print but low-resolution for web . . .
