Napoleonic Era and beyond - Military and Social Tunes 1790-1840 in a vast online resource

We recently found a fascinating website for anyone interested in military and social tunes from the Georgian and early Victorian era. Extending from the time of the French Revolutionary Wars to the early years of Victoria's reign, the website profiles an absolutely enormous collection of tunes, some with "harmonies".  It began life in England, but is now in Canada, soon to be in the City of Toronto Archives.
