Collection is now hosted on Archive.org!
When Dan Landrum was the editor of DPN (2007 - 2018), he had the back issues of DPN scanned and digitized. They were previously hosted on Issuu.com, but in 2023 that was not longer a good fit.
The DPN Archives are now hosted on the Internet Archive (archive.org), a non-profit digital library with an ambitious mission: to provide universal access to all knowledge -- the books, magazines, web pages, audio, television and software of our shared human culture. They provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, people with print disabilities, and the general public.
As of Jan. 19, 2024, we have uploaded all the previously created digital copies. There are some errors which we have yet to correct. I will post an update when the have made any changes and added any more recent issues.

Clicking the text for the month and year of the issue will send you to the issue on Archive.org.
Searching the Archives
The best way to search the Archives on our collection page: https://archive.org/details/dulcimer-players-news
Just below the search box, select “Search text contents” and enter the text you want to search for. If you select “Search metadata”, you’re only searching the brief catalog entries rather than the issues themselves.
The search isn’t perfect - they’ve had to do OCR to get the text, but it’s a good start.
Partial Index
We have a partial index from ~2007 to 2024. It’s a searchable spreadsheet on Google drive. Thanks to Alex Ulasiewicz for pulling this together.
