Folk Music Journal is a peer-reviewed journal of research into all aspects of traditional song, music, dance, and drama. It is the journal of the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library, England's national folk music and dance archive, and is sent free to all members of the English Folk Dance and Song Society. Folk Music Journal is the continuation of the Journal of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, which was itself the continuation of the Journal of the Folk-Song Society, first published in 1899, and the Journal of the English Folk Dance Society. Contents include articles, correspondence, reviews of books and sound recordings, and obituaries. Its aim is to be both scholarly and accessible, and the journal prides itself on working with authors who do not come from a traditional academic background. Although the main focus is on Britain and Ireland, no strict geographical limit is imposed.
