Scrapbook A of Songs of your county

Unbound scrapbook entitled 'Songs from Ireland's own'. Each page numbered 1–75 by Nellie Walsh and contains numerous cuttings, manuscripts, etc. An eleven page index at the beginning shows the titles of the songs on each page, handwritten by Walsh, but with no discernible ordering principle.

Scrapbook B of Songs of your county

Thick bright red, paperbound scrapbook with the word 'Scrapbook' and a pair of scissors printed on the cover. Twelve pages of thick grey paper with individual clipped poems from 'Ireland's own' pasted onto both sides of each page.

Songs of your county. Song index

Nellie Walsh's handwritten index of songs included in 'Songs of your county', organised by county. There are four inserts taped into the book to add more songs to the index. There are numbers included next to each song or groups of songs that may refer to the issue or order in which she included them. Others have 'x's next to their names, perhaps indicating that she did not end up using that song in a column. Considering the completeness of this index, we can assume she kept it from the beginning to end of her column.
