It is not always clear, if at all, where the demarcation between 'folk dance' and 'historic dance' lies, and the study of one perforce includes the other.
Internet Resources
For a bibliography of the history of social dance have a look at this list on the Stanford University website.
A long list of historical dance instruction manuals have been digitised by the Library of Congress. Includes Arbeau, Weaver, Feuillet, Playford, Wilson et.al.
There is a further list of historical British dance material at this Russian site, The St.Petersburg Ball
Many later dances can be found together with the tunes for those dances, and you will find links to them if you look on the Tunebooks List
A treasure trove website with much of great interest to say about historic dance is the Society for Creative Anachronism
Much of interest can be found on Regency Dances website, including an interesting section of "Papers"
