​Folklife Traditions Journal.   Index: Articles.   www.folklife-traditions.uk/index-articles.html
Your help welcome - Articles spreadsheet / database;  volunteer(s) receive free print Journals

This "Index: ARTICLES" webpage contains a list of authors and their articles.  We'd like this list to be in a spreadsheet or database.

We have a splendid pool of contributors,  . . .  but all admin is by Sam, a print editor, who is not a web expert, and has totally failed to persuade anybody to take on admin -- editing our websites,accounts/subscriptions, etc  (Eleanor is a co-editor, not admin).    Indeded, ideally we'd have 3 not 2 Journals a year.
So the endless admin time, to keep our 2 publications & 3 websites going (FTJ isn't viable as a stand-alone publication) 
means that I don't have enough time to do everything  . . .

As a first step, we would welcome a volunteer to put list of articles into a Excel spreadsheet.  
Later, requiring someone more knowledgeable than me, a searchable database for "Articles, songs & tunes", perhaps on a new website. 
​We are in any case moving to a new webhost for a less clunky website (as we have for Folklife West folk news on www.folklife.uk)

​Background notes from Editor, Sam Simmons: ​
[1]  ​FWJ - Folkife West Journal originally published separately to our Folk West, later Folklife West, FW magazine.  This magazine, published by Folklife, was intended to continue the work of the former ‘Somers Journal’ published by the Somers Folk Club.
     It started as “Worcestershire Folklife: the Folklife West Journal, Nº. 1” in Sep. 2006, a special issue for Worcestershire, assisted by a Awards for All grant (covering 1 issue only). The contents included both ‘folklife’ and ‘folk club’ material.
     It was then published irregularly (due to lack of time and money) and over time, contents gradually became more focused on ‘folklife’, with ‘folk club’ elements (eg folk CDs) being transferred to our Folk West magazine.

[2012] FT 09,           Oct 2012 in Folklife Quarterly 35, Oct 2012

[2]  FT:  We wanted preferred to have a regularly-published Journal, but no time & resources. Then I retired ! ----- new computer & software, so Oct. 2012 created the combined FQ - Folklife Quarterly magazine [from Oct. 2018, FQ renamed as FW - Folklife West magazine, as 3 x year from Jan. 2019]
    FWJ was then renamed Folklife Traditions - FT, with the FT pages being published as part of the new combined FQ magazine.

[3]  Folklife Traditions Journal, May 2021: a new international audience with Zoom's arrival, easier to explain FT to a new international audience by adding Journal to the title (as this suggests articles rather than folk acts etc) - our email Newsletter (see foot of page) now circulates to the US, Australia, etc.
From FTJ 72, Jan 2023, FTJ started publishing separately as well as being part of Folklife West.
From FTJ 74,  Nov 2023, FTJ was established as a separate magazine, not part of Folklife West,

Volunteer(s) wanted to help with simple indexing (we'll give you free print Journals). 

Please contact 
[email protected]

FTJ is not viable as a solo stand-alone publication! 
FTJ, and this website, are paid for by subscribers to FW: Folklife West print magazine [folk club etc news]. 
Therefore our priority must be
 constantly updating our website for FW; so for this site, we need help from others. 
​

Volunteers wanted - Summary
1) Firstly
, as soon as possible, quite simple, pasting info under heading "Articles, songs & tunes" into an Excel spreadsheet.
​    (we also list other info eg "Publications' News" but I regard "Articles, songs & tunes" as the priority).

2) Later, requiring someone more knowledgeable than me, a searchable database for "Articles, songs & tunes", perhaps on a new website.


Volunteers wanted - Details

1) This webpage has lists of articles, each list being one author.
We welcome volunteers who can assist by simply pasting those individual lists into a combined list in Excel format - something like this???
Author           Title                                                                              Title notes                              Issue: PDF A4;  PDF US     Date          Page   Emag
Adam, Helen  ‘Gwenynen Gwent’ / ‘The Busy Bee of Gwent’                 Welsh traditional tune with notes   FT 64v2; FT 64-US 2020 May p6-7      n/a
Adam, Helen  ‘Machynlleth’                                                                   Welsh traditional tune with notes   FT 61v2                   2019 May p43-44 n/a
Adam, Helen  ‘Meillionen o Feirionnydd’ / ‘The Clover of Meirionnydd’   Welsh traditional tune with notes   FT 62v2                  2019 Sep  p4-5      n/a
Davies, Gwilym: 'A New Year Song: Buff Blow’                                       Song + notes from GlosTrad website FT 52v4               2017 Jan    p27      ft-52
  • Issue: PDF A4: A4 PDF downloads for all issues. Some articles (originally-print only) added, they may be revised, hence v for pdf version number.
  • PDF US: US-letter size pdfs for more recent issues.  Emag: earlier issues also as "Issuu" e-magazines; may omit some articles originally-print only.
  • I have Excel 2011 for Mac (works fine, not the latest).  A volunteer could use a later version which I could use, or I could upgrade (tables from Weebly, our website provider, are not suitable - very basic).

​2)  ​Ideally, a completed Excel list as above would be converted to a searchable database with options of choosing by author, title, etc.
I have FileMaker 18, used for a simple member-records database  (I started with an earlier version, kept upgrading to maintain that simple database).
In theory can be used for a complex database, accessible from web, but I don't know how.
Website provider (Weebly) tables are not suitable, so would have to be something downloadable from the site?
​      On our webhosts. Weebly, we can upload files up to 10mb, with total storage of 500mb. We'll reach that limit at some point !
​Occasionally we need to split FT files, but usually 1 file per issue, now 2 per issue with US letter-size pdfs as well.  
They are no longer updating, and say "we are continuing to support the Weebly site builder until July 2025".  So we need to move the site from Weebly.
