Welcome to the Folk Song Catalogue
The Folk Song Catalogue is a research tool for comparative study of folk songs in various regions of Europe.
The project was founded by Jan Koláček in 2015.
We are creating an open searchable database of folk songs (melody and texts) included in:
1) printed and manuscript catalogues
2) audio recordings.
Recently we gave finished the digitisation of full texts from Sušil 1860 collection.
Analytical tools with text & music concordances are also available.
