FOLKLIFE TRADITIONS JOURNAL is on an external site:
This page is www.folklife.uk/journal ~ we're moving the Journal to this site during September.
We're moving because it became harder and harder to update the previous website, which has received no updates for a long time.
Some duplication below, which needs editing, but at the moment we need to give priority to moving the rest of the FTJ site to this site ASAP.

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.
