Hi Bill,
This is David Smukler, who has been putting the RPDLW syllabi online. The syllabi from
before 1997 were not saved in electronic format, and so I'm afraid that they are not
available. Sadly, they are no longer available in print form either, but I believe that
the Dimond Library at the University of New Hampshire (host of the website) has copies all
the way back. Perhaps one day they will be scanned, and then the archive will be more
complete.
You may have noticed also that no syllabi were produced for 1988, 1989, 1992, or 1993. The
dances from 88 and 93 appear in the index anyway (without page numbers) because for those
years I found lists kept by Ted Sannella of every dance that was done during the weekend.
I suspect Ted kept similar lists for 89 and 92, but they have not turned up. Many of the
dances done during those years either show up in syllabi from other years. One of the
projects on my to-do list is to go through all the ones that don't and find other
places that they have been published. Once I do that I will add the info to the index.

Hi David,
Are pre 1997 syllabi available (online)? The index starts at 1988, but
the pdf only begin at 1997.

"Jewels in the crown, honey, jewels in the crown"
is what my grandmother would say to this.
Thank you for all you do, Dave.
Cheers,

Hi David(s) and others,
I agree with you all that the Ralph Page syllabi are a fantastic
resource. Especially so for me being at the end of the world here
in NZ.
David Millstone suggested I contact UNH library and ask about
earlier years.
Roland the librarian in charge of the Ralph Page collection
has been very helpful and has started to scan more syllabi.
He said it may take awhile as the scanning produced multiple
large files which need to be combined, and he has other
work to do.
Since I'm retired, I offered to help him from here. So today using
the power of the internet I've been remotely accessing the university
of Canterbury (where I am still an 'associate' ) to process files
Roland sent me for 1990, 1991 and 1995.
So now there are text based pdf documents available - they are
searchable and not too large. I've uploaded them back to Roland, so
they should appear on the web
www.library.unh.edu/special/index.php/ralph-page-dance-legacy-weekend
very soon.
He will send me 1994 and 1996 soon, and the search is on for 1992 and 1993 if
they exist.
Note that 1988 and 1989 are there now, however they are only one page
programs with details.
Cheers, Bill
