Vaughan Williams Memorial Library, Folk music and dance archive at Cecil Sharp House in London, England.
The Vaughan Williams Memorial Library contains manuscripts, recordings, and documents chronicling traditional English folk music and dance throughout the centuries.
The library opened in 1933 as part of the English Folk Dance and Song Society to preserve Cecil Sharp's extensive collection of folk materials.
This national repository safeguards thousands of traditional songs, dance notations, and musical scores representing regional traditions across England.
The library welcomes visitors Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 5pm, with additional Saturday openings on the first and third weeks monthly.
Researchers can examine original field recordings, handwritten musical scores, and dance manuscripts dating back to the early collection efforts of the 1900s.
