This site is organized along several interlocking tracks. Here are the various rosters and menus that will get you started.
- Alphabetical Roster of Fiddlers and Other Informants. Lists all those whose music or oral history clips are available on the site. Each entry leads to an individual's bio page.
- Annotated List of Fiddlers by Style. Lists all those whose music or oral history clips are available on the site by regional style or stylistic affiliation. Each entry leads to a bio page.
- Index of tunes. Lists all tunes available on the site. When there are fewer than four examples, entries link both to the corresponding audio file and to players' bio pages. When four or more performances of a given tune are available, entries lead to a tune page (some examples: Paddy on the Turnpike, Flowers of Edinburgh, Mrs. McLeod of Rasay). The user may then select from among the performances listed on that page.
- Index of Events. Each listing links with an events page (some examples: Fiddle Festivals, Old-Time Dances, Commercial Ceilidhs). These events were all videotaped during the period 1991-2006.
- Bio Pages. Each bio page features biographical information on a given fiddler or other informant, plus one or more photographs and often a video clip. Each page also lists all available music performances for that person and links to oral history selections.
- Tune Pages. Each tune page offers historical information and anecdotes about popular fiddle tunes from the PEI repertoire. It also lists and links to all available performances of the tune on this site, arranged alphabetically by artist. In each case, note is made of the artist's regional style.
- Tradition Pages. Each tradition page focuses on a significant aspect of musical practice or community life (some examples: Repertoire, Style, Dancing, Attitudes About Fiddling). Links appear within the text of each tradition page that make relevant oral history clips available. Other links guide you to related tune pages, bio pages, and event pages. Tradition pages are organized according to headings: Community Dances, Fiddler's Role, Learning to Play, Repertoire, and so on.
- Event Page. Each page describes an important kind of Island music and dance event, then lists available video clips.
