The Word on the Street: How Ordinary Scots in Bygone Days Found Out What Was Happening
"The National Library of Scotland's online collection of nearly 1,800 broadsides lets you see for yourself what 'the word on the street' was in Scotland between 1650 and 1910. Crime, politics, romance, emigration, humour, tragedy, royalty and superstitions — all these and more are here." Commentary accompanies images of the broadsides. Searchable; browsable by title or subject. Includes related readings and links.
