FOLK DANCER/ONLINE INDEX Vol. 1 No.1 (Summer 1969) to Vol. 50 No. 5 (December 2019), inclusive Written by Karen Bennett. Not indexed: most editorials and like content written by editors while they hold that position; most letters, ads, cartoons, coming events, and photographs; and social announcements, sometimes made in a column whose title varied a lot, including “Hiers Ek Wiers,” “Tidbits,” “From the Grapevine” and “The Back Page”). Not all content was attributed (especially that of Walter Bye and Karen Bennett while they were editors), and reports by OFDA executives aren’t listed under their names, so this combination index/bibliography doesn’t include under a person’s name everything they wrote. Abbreviations used: ''AGM'' stands for Annual General Meeting, "bio" for biography, “fd” for folk dance, IFD for international folk dance,“info.” for information, "J/J/A" for June/July/August, and "OFDC" for Ontario Folk Dance Camp, and “IFDC” for the International Folk Dance Club, University of Toronto. The newsletter title has been variously OFDA, OFDA Newsletter, Ontario Folk Dance Association Newsletter, Ontario Folk Dance Association Magazine, Ontario Folkdancer, Ontario FolkDancer, Folk Dancer: The Magazine of World Dance and Culture, and Folk Dancer Online: The Magazine of World Dance and Culture. --visit by Ruth Hyde, J/J/A 85 Albania: A --dance descriptions: Leši, Oct. 76; Valle Jarnana, Jan. 15/96 (p. 8) Acadia, see French Canada --dance words:Valle Jarnana, Jan. 15/96 (p.
