A new website
Historic Welsh ballads online for a new global audience
- Documenting important issues of the day - workers' rights, crime, local festivals, village gossip...
- Funded by JISC, the project has completed a network of digital resources giving access to these precious documents.
- around 15,000 pages of rare Welsh and English language ballads (words, not music) now available to study and enjoy.
- Visit the National Library of Wales ballad website here.
Ben Showers, programme manager at JISC, said: The Welsh Ballads project puts in place the final piece of a national jigsaw of digitised ballads. Adding to the ballad collections of England and Scotland this new archive will help make this a unique and indispensable resource for researchers, students and interested members of the public.
