Colleagues,
If you want a full perspective on digitsed ballads around Britain there
are three or four main sites -
- The Cardiff University & National Library of Wales 'Welsh digital
ballads' site (c. 4,000 ballads) (
http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/insrv/libraries/scolar/digital/welshballads/wel
shballadswebsite.html ) .
The Cardiff website also has a very useful set of international links to
other ballad sites.
- Two Scottish sites at Glasgow and Edinburgh.
- And the Bodley Library selection of English broadside ballads.
Regards,
Peter Keelan

English broadside ballads online
The NLS online digital gallery now includes a collection of 2,300
broadside ballads from the 19th century, one of the Crawford Collections
on long-term loan from the Balcarres Heritage Trust.
Ballads have been called the tabloid newspapers of their day: printed on
single sheets and sold and sung on street corners, they offered ordinary
people news and entertainment. This latest collection to be digitised
covers topics from crime and disasters to fashion and sport.
It complements the ballads in our broadside feature The Word on the
Street, which is based on NLS's own collections
The National Library of Scotland is a registered Scottish Charity.
Scottish Charity No. SC011086.
