About Folklife publishers, print & online

About       www.folklife.uk/about
Folklife are a non-profit group of volunteers. Read our publications free online !
  • See Home for a brief introduction to Folklife West
  • See Info for admin details (membership, sales/discounts, adverts, etc).
  • Websites, so no social-media-style sign-up required to read our websites! ​, open to all to read !
  • On phones, our A4-size print-page copies become too small to read, but images will give you a general idea (& you can always buy a copy !)
  • 3 separate websites, we'll add the other 2 sites, Journal and Directory to this site, pending advice from more web-knowledgeable volunteers, and subject to the considerable time to copy it all over.
Also on this site, quite separate from Folklife:
