Does anyone have any ideas on the following:

Which institutions were actively buying folksong-related materials at auction in London in 1925? ( in addition to British Library and Folger Library, Washington DC)

Why would W.A.Barrett ( editor of English Folksongs, Novello, London (1891) ) be awarded an honorary doctorate in music by the University of Toronto in the 1880s?
