This is more specialist, has a narrower range of themes (mostly broadside
ballads rather than general printed broadsides) and is much less
user-friendly, but is worth adding to Mark's, I think.

Basically, if you already know what you might be looking for, go to the
Bodleian. If you want an enlightening browse, go to Edinburgh.
Horses for courses.
