The idea of an informative newsletter was originated by
Jonathan Hooton (then of Wheatsheaf Morris ), & the founding editor
was Ewart (Rusty) Russell of
Colchester Morris , past Bagman of
the Morris Ring. The first
edition of The Morris Dancer was
published to the member clubs of the Morris Ring in May 1978. Depending on your
requirements, you can choose either of two methods to browse the
contents of The Morris Dancer
Archive .
If you are looking for a specific article, & you know which
Volume & Issue it appeared
in, right-click the relevant link in the left-hand column. This
will take you to the first page of the complete Table of Contents for that Volume. Once there, you can browse through
the pages to locate your article of interest. Clicking on that
will take you to the start page of the chosen article.
Should you be looking for references to specific people, sides or
locations, etc., you can use the Acrobat© “Search” facility on
the Volume’s Table of
Contents , which will return a list of every occurrence of
your chosen word or phrase.
As the process of conversion & annotation is ongoing, these
facilities will be extended until the whole back catalogue has
been made available. Volume Three
is likely to be the next set to be completed online, as
Volume Two is in the process of
being scanned, re-typeset & converted into Acrobat© format in its entirety.
