FARNE (Folk Archive Resource North East) is an exciting new online archive offering access to over 4000 music manuscripts, songbooks, photographs and sound recordings from the North East of England. The project has been funded by a grant from the New Opportunites Fund and has ran in partnership with Gateshead Council, The Sage Gateshead and the University of Newcastle. After two years of gathering together material from libraries, museums and individuals in the region the site has now gone live. The site is free and available to all. In addition to the online archive www.folknortheast.com
offers learning journeys, forums, news, radio programmes and more. We also
have an extensive links section in which we were pleased to the Bodleian Broadsides. If you would like any further information
