FTJ issues: index

The issues: started as Folklife West Journal (FW being our folk-news magazine), then changed to Folklife Traditions when omitted folk club material.
Later added Journal after FT, as simpler to explain on Zoom during Covid that FT wasn't a folk-news magazine.
Was part of Folklife West, which changed name to Folklife Quarterly when it became quarterly, now 3 per year, so name back to Folklife West

Here are the various issues' webpages, arranged in order of when they were published.

Each has links to each issue's free PDFs downloads & list of contents.

FWJ 01-08 Folklife West Journal, started with a grant for FWJ 01, published as a separate magazine, includes some folk club material.
After FWJ O7, also available as part of Folklife West, later renamed Folklife Quarterly when became quarterly

FT 09-49 After FWJ 08, was renamed as Folklife Traditions, so FT 09, etc
After FT 09, included as part of Folklife Quarterly (FQ) & renumbered to same number as FQ, so next was FT 36 in FW 36, etc.

- Will be transferred to this site, currently on old site on https://www.folklife-traditions.uk/ft-50-66.html

FTJ 67-76 name changed to Folklife Traditions Journal (the term 'Journal' flags up it's not a folk-news magazine), but continuing as part of Folklife West (which is a folk-news magazine).
FTJ 74 onwards now published separately (as combined magazine became too big to edit in time for publication dates)
Will be transferred to this site, currently on old site on https://www.folklife-traditions.uk/ftj-67-76.html

Single Issues — from FT-65 onwards as well as PDFs to download, also has subpages with individual issues as images (jpgs) to read online, — these will not be copied to new site, as too time-consuming. On old site on https://www.folklife-traditions.uk/single-issues.html

Suggestions welcome, bearing in mind we are print editors, without web expertise, with limited time. Tech-savvy volunteers always welcome, especially anyone knowing about databases! For example, our Articles Index is a simple list, & would be better as a spreadsheet, & ideally a database.

Ideally, we'd like a volunteer web editor to run this site, whilst we concentrate on print editing and producing the magazine.
