Sets In Order Archive

Click on one one of the links to access digitized copies of complete editions of the Sets In Order magazine.

The first link is to an index page created by Gardner Patton that presents links to all editions as thumbnail images of the edition's cover. This page is a tribute to Bob and Becky Osgood. The Sets In Order magazines are one of their legacies that comprise in these pages the history of modern square dancing. Bob began publishing SIO in 1948 and the last issue was issued in December 1985, 444 issues.

The actual digital archive is housed at Denver University. The second link accesses their index for the collection. It is presented in a format that requires a great deal more scrolling to view the editions.
