National Burns Collection edit / delete
Burns' poetry and songs. This has individual songs scanned from various books, which is quite useful if you don't feel like hunting through the scans on archive.org or Google Books. On the downside, it only includes Burns' versions of the songs -- which (and it's probably safe to admit this now Burns Night has passed) aren't always an improvement on the originals; compare "This Ae Night" with the reconstructed "Cold Haily Windy Night"...

Scans of 19th-century Scottish music books. Want the original "Both Sides the Tweed"? It's here, along with seemingly every other folk song I've ever learned.

Hm -- well, yes, it's folk singing in Angus, but probably not quite what I was after. (Shape note -- yuck!)

Histories of American folk songs. Very interesting stuff.
