The Folklore Fellows' newsletter archive has now been updated. It provides easy access to all but one* published newsletters since the revival of FF thirty years ago, in 1991. The first issues contain for example many articles and writings from the Primus Motor of the revival, prof. Lauri Honko (1932-2002), and lots of information of what the network was to become. Happy digging!

* Issue no. 9 was not to be found in our digital archives, for some reason.
