FolkLib Index -
     FolkBook to folkmusic.org Conversion Page

      "FolkBook: An Online Acoustic Music Establishment", which came on-line September 1, 1994, was taken off-line as of March 7, 1998. This page is a guide to the location of every FolkBook page that has been redesigned and installed at the brand new site, "folkmusic.org", which came on-line August 21, 1997.

      Stephen Spencer was the guiding light that made FolkBook the most useful Folk Music site on the entire World Wide Web. The torch has been passed to Alan Rowoth and his team and their folkmusic.org site. It looks like this successor site will carry on the tradition in fine form. Congratulations to Stephen for a job well done, and best wishes to Alan for a glowing future.

      As FolkBook is no more, so to is The FolkBook Index.

      And a special note to those Webmasters who have updated their links, but not their link titles:

      I hope the following will help you update all your broken FolkBook bookmarks and links.

        Thanks... (from Stephen Spencer)
        "Acknowledgement of the parties involved in making FolkBook the place that it is. An ever-growing number of people are involved in making this resource the rich and varied place that it is. Alan Rowoth and Krista Reymann must be thanked, first of all, for working with me to come up with the idea for FolkBook. Tom Loredo, Adam Schneider and Kristina Cizas have also provided countless amounts of effort in producing the content they've provided to FolkBook."
        "The contributors to FolkBook are too many to count. From computer-savvy fans who build elaborate online shrines to their favorite musicians, to musicians taking the online plunge and building their own biography pages, it's their work that fills out the pages here."

        Stephen's tribute is reproduced here because I really feel these people deserve to be remembered for their wonderful contributions to FolkBook.

      With FolkBook now permanently off-line, the term "The FolkBook Index" could not remain in use. While looking for a new name for this site (particularly one that, prior to 03-08-1998, produced zero Alta Vista [Archive] hits), the fact that my parents were Librarians made the selection easy. The new name, "FolkLib Index: A Library of Folk Music Links", is lovingly dedicated in memory and honor of Herman H. Henkle (1900-1987) and Genevieve E. Henkle (1906-1995). Thank you both so very much.
