​Updates since last Newsletter, for next Newsletter
To go in the next issue (unless dated by then).   Material received just before deadline may simply go in the next issue & not be in a newsletter.
FT pages researched articles; folklife studies & organisations; publications

New !  Download PDFs for all  FT issues
Earlier magazines were originally set up as e-magazines which were not downloadable.
To cope with all the additional PDFs, our "Index: ISSUES" webpage was therefore split into 2 webpages -- 
see "Index: ISSUES-1" (FWJ 1 to FT 50; 26 issues)
and "Index: ISSUES-2" (FT 51 to date;  16 issues).   So that's 42 issues
 (perhaps 150 articles?)
We have also clarified the layout, as this was originally based on earlier links to "Issuu" e-magazine which we can no longer update.
Links for Issuu are still available from FWJ 01 to FT 56.
*** Still to do: add in some print-only articles to online (PDFs).  We'll let you know later when this is complete. Meanwhile, we may have a Pdf for an article that we can send you on request even if not on PDFs as published.

Your help welcome - database of Articles
The "Index: ARTICLES" webpage contains lists of articles, arranged by author. 
​Ideally they would go in a database but learning how to do this is too time-consuming for us just now.  Suggestions, and volunteers, welcome . . .
