Had this press release sent to me today.

Cecil James Sharp (1859 - 1924) was England's most prolific folk music and dance collector. The 22nd November will mark his birthdate and Sequicentinnial (150th Anniversary). In celebration of his achievements and the impact he continues to have on folk music to this day EFDSS have announced the launch of his only surviving personal diaries. Written between (1915 - 1918) they include descriptions of his collecting experiences in the Appalachian Mountains of North America.

The first of the series of diaries will be launched online on Sunday 22nd November, 2009 followed by announcements of more events and content over the coming months. It is also planned to add a full, annotated transcription in time for Sharp's next birthday in 2010.
