At its meeting on the 12th June 2004, the Traditional Drama Research Group's committee initiated a project to ensure that all the papers from the Traditional Drama Conferences are publicly available, either on paper or online. As a first step, we have produced this list of all the papers, discussions, etc., indicating those we know have been published, and if so where. Help WantedWe would appreciate it if authors (or anyone else) could check the list and notify us of any of the following:
Please send information and contributions to the Webmaster, Paul Smith at fpsmith@mun.ca, and copy to Ron Shuttleworth at mumminguk@mail.com. BackgroundDelegates at the first conference in 1978 were issued with preprints of the papers. However, these are not readily available, and this approach was not repeated at later conferences. The proceedings of the 2002 conference were published as a dedicated volume in a limited edition. Some of the other conference papers have been published in the TDRG's journal Traditional Drama Studies, and several more have appeared in other peer-reviewed folklore journals. Additionally, a few authors have published their own papers, either as pamphlets or online. Otherwise, a significant proportion of the papers remain unpublished, an omission we wish to rectify. This list has been adapted from information kindly prepared by Ron Shuttleworth, keeper of the Morris Ring Folk Play Archive. He has included non-plenary items from the programmes such as informal discussions, film sessions, etc. Some items may be irrelevant to the current exercise, although transcripts of the discussions could be useful. Ron holds tape recordings of most of the conferences, with transcripts of many of the unpublished items. These holdings are indicated where appropriate. Ron also has abstracts for virtually all of the papers, and copies of most of the handouts. Asterisks (*) indicate cases where Ron feels it might be possible to obtain a copy or a tape. |
