Meself ~ MUNFLA's current on-line Leach Collection is rife with errors in transcription, history, and cross-references. It is difficult to put it on par with Kenneth Peacock's polished collection. I often get the impression students do the work for extra credit, but no one is checking the work well enough to remove even the blatant errors. For the past several years I have been working on the collection as time allows, and estimate about 75% of the GEST index is now complete, but the work is still ongoing.... Index of some of the Songs of Atlantic Canada and Folk Ballads and Songs of the Lower Labrador Coast Collected by Macedward Leach (1897-1967) GEST Songs of Newfoundland and Labrador
