The University of New Hampshire continues its wonderful tradition of digital collections with these celebratory offerings of music and dance. Here, visitors will find two primary publications: Northern Junket and American Squares. This first publication was a collection of New England folk dances, songs, and square dances published between 1953 and the mid-1980s. Published by Ralph Page, visitors can download each edition to browse at their leisure. It's a fascinating find for musicologists and historians. The other publication, American Squares, was published from 1945 to 1955 as a monthly square dance magazine that chronicled the world of American folk dancing. Each issue contains information about competitive dance contests, instructional materials, and so on.
