One song has a Galway song on the back and another has a Tipperary song on the back.

Mostly transcribed by Nellie Walsh herself, but others sent to her or clipped from newspapers. Some attached to letters addressed to Walsh.

Songs from Co. Wexford

Handwritten, typescript, photocopied printed, and newspaper clippings of songs from Co. Wexford. It is no surprise that this is one of the larger collections, as Walsh was from Co. Wexford herself and the 'Ireland's own' magazine is published out of the same county. These are mostly lyric sheets, but several include tonic sol-fa or staff notation. Mostly transcribed by Nellie Walsh herself, but others sent to her or clipped from newspapers, and a few are printed leaflets with intricate headers. Some attached to letters addressed to Walsh.

Bound collected sheet music in staff notation

Bound music manuscript books with handwritten sheet music collected by Nellie Walsh. Written in staff notation with lyrics, each song titled and titles collected in an index on the paper front cover of the book. Several have lyric sheets or staff notation inserted, so not all are well bound together.

Bound song books with tonic sol-fa

Small bound paper books containing song lyrics and occasional tonic sol-fa. Mostly handwritten by Nellie Walsh, but some books include inserts of newspaper clippings or typescript. Three are collections of typescript poems on coloured paper. These books are small memo books, day planners, notebooks, and contact books, mostly bound by cardstock, but a handful have thicker cardboard or plastic bindings. They are filled up with songs seemingly unattributed to certain counties or date ranges, but we can assume these fall between 1940s and 1990s.

The Londonderry air

Songs, newspaper clippings, and editorials about the tune 'The Londonderry air,' including a list of songs set to the air, letters from Nellie Walsh and letters responding to her request for information about the tune, several packets of sheet music in staff notation for songs composed to the air, and a collection of materials about its most famous interpretation, 'Danny boy.' Several of these are duplicates or photocopies of each other.
