The Full English project is hosting two free open days offering music lovers the chance to explore its digital archive and learn about folk music.
The archive open days will take place at the British Library on Saturday 10 May and at Cecil Sharp House on Saturday 14 June.
Both dates will allow attendees the chance to view manuscripts held in the collection as well as listen to illustrated talks from the likes of author and folklorist Steve Roud and English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) Library director Malcolm Taylor OBE.
The Full English digital archive brings together 19 rich and diverse manuscript collections, from seven archives, for the first time in the most comprehensive free searchable digital archive of early 20th century English folk songs, tunes, dances and customs in the world.
The June event is free. You can reserve your place via Eventbrite.
