I recently came across this useful book/tune list from the Highland Village Village in Nova Scotia.

Almost two and a half years on the list of titles is now just shy of 7000 tunes from 56 of the 73 books I have earmarked to add so far. The spreadsheet now has two tabs, one listing the tunes and the other listing the source books. There's still a lot of work to do to complete all of the info I can on the existing titles so the file will be constantly changing. Ignore the preview that Box will start to generate and just download the file if you are interested

Thanks to tallship of this parish for getting me started  - I have now started on a database driven website containing the tunes titles from various published books.  At present there are a few book lists available to browse either by tune title or book titles.  Please note, I haven't finished the search function for the site yet, but they will next, followed by populating the database with more books and tune titles.  Please feel free to message me if you have any comments (rather than posting them here).

Happy searching

Malcolm

oh, finally - the URL is www.folktunebooks.co.uk

The URL is still there but there is no longer any content, is this now abandoned?

I've added quite a few more tune books this week and the grand total of tunes listed is now just shy of 8400
