Take a look at the Website of the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library (click) - you'll see that the remarkable Steve Roud Index of Folk Songs and Broadsides is now available online, along with indexes from a number of collectors (Sharp, Karpeles, et al.).

I get a strange overlay display on Firefox and MSIE today, but it had been working very well for me on the test site for the past several weeks. The test site is now closed, so I guess the main site is open to the public - but there must be a minor error on the search page. You can get around the problem by clicking on the button for "multiple field search."
