Scope and content
Handwritten, typescript, and newspaper clippings of songs from Co. Kerry, mostly lyric sheets, with a few tonic sol-fa additions and one in staff notation on music manuscript paper. A few transcribed by Nellie Walsh herself, but others sent to her or clipped from newspapers. Some attached to letters addressed to Walsh. One song has a Galway song on the back and another has a Tipperary song on the back.
