On 20 March 1960, a general meeting in the Fischer home in Salt Lake City included a talk by Aunt Susie Barlow. The same house appears again in April, when Josephine Johnson is introduced as “Sister Johnson,” and in December, when the archive labels a talk by Ray Blackmore.

Later in the spring and summer the recordings move between Salt Lake meetings and a Canada conference at the end of May, where Susie spoke on the 28th and 29th. On 28 May a Salt Lake meeting also includes short and longer talks by Carl O. N. Holm and J. M. Hammon.

On 21 August, a meeting at the Zitting home was held in a thunderstorm. Hammon opens with a story about rain; later in the same meeting Spencer Warner is asked by name to come and speak. In September and October the same circle of speakers appears again: Leroy S. Johnson, Guy H. Musser, Hammon, Holm, and Richard S. Jessop. Two September talks exist in close-matching copies dated the 17th and the 18th; each is published once, with the second copy noted on the talk page.

130 recordings dated 1960 are listed below. Talks whose only date is “1960s, date unknown” are not listed here as dated 1960 meetings.
