Scope and content
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.
