The Vaughan Williams Memorial Library is the library and archive of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, located in Cecil Sharp House. It is a multi-media library comprising books, periodicals, audio-visual materials, photographs, sound recordings, manuscripts, field notes, etc. of a number of collectors of folk music and dance traditions in the British Isles. It is named after Ralph Vaughan Williams, the composer, collector and past president of the EFDSS.
This catalogue holds a record of all the acquisitions to this library since its inception until 1971. Over the years, the library has added collections of folklorists such as Lucy Broadwood, Janet Blunt, Anne Gilchrist, George Butterworth and George Gardiner. It also contains copies of the papers and notebooks of Sabine Baring-Gould, Ralph Vaughan Williams and James Madison Carpenter; and the field recordings of Percy Grainger and the BBC Folk Music Archive.
