The Bodleian Library holds over 30,000 ballads contained in several collections. These have been gathered into a single catalogue which is presented, along with a scanned image of each ballad sheet, in the Broadside Ballads Project.
In December 2024, owing to a change in guidance within the University relating to cyber security, the Broadside Ballads resource was taken offline while we develop new approaches to being able to support and deliver it.
