Typescript programmes, scripts, song lists, and notes, including the script from Nellie Walsh's appearance singing on a radio show on 29 April 1957, several drafts of a write-up on collecting folk songs, and a 24 page booklet of poems and songs that were 'The subject of a lecture given by Mr. Seamus Murphy in November, 1981."

Pasted Clippings of Songs of your county

Selections of Nellie Walsh's 'Ireland's own' column, either clipped from or photocopies of the magazine, pasted onto thick card that look like they could have been part of a scrapbook. Several are full pages of songs with Walsh's comments, but some are clipped individual songs.

Correspondence

Handwritten letters to and from Nellie Walsh, largely but not exclusively related to Irish traditional music, including her 'Ireland's own' column and her singing career. Some letters include requests for songs and submissions of songs, but are unattached to those songs. The earliest letter in this collection has '1895' handwritten later at the top, and addressed to Mrs. Margaret O'Nauralean (?).

Clippings of Songs of your county

Clippings, mostly full pages of 'Songs of your country' plus two 'Ireland's own' supplements that are booklets dedicated to the songs of Kerry and Donegal, respectively. A selection of these clippings are without Nellie Walsh's byline, but the majority of them are Walsh's. Most of Walsh's have handwritten dates from 1986. Many pages are dedicated to one specific county, but the others combine songs from multiple areas across Ireland.
