The series of Cecil Sharp’s diaries covering the years 1915 – 18 when he visited America to collect songs
in the Appalachian Mountains can now be viewed on the EFDSS website. To view the diaries, go here. Do
take the opportunity to have a look at the slide show about Sharp’s work and the diaries prepared by the
EFDSS for the BBC with a commentary by Malcolm Taylor. There is also a link to an excellent article by
Mike Yates on Cecil Sharp in America, which is on the Musical Traditions site.
