	abstract = {This article summarizes the aims of the English Broadside Ballad Archive (EBBA). Fumerton and Nebeker both serve as directors on the project. Each ballad entry on the database is complete with colour facsimile transcriptions, TEI-XML text, and MARC records. Additionally, "like no other website, EBBA provides recordings of all extant tunes for the ballads." Fumerton and Nebeker argue that it is important to understand these textual artifacts as part of an oral tradition. EBBA employs a team of singers, "led by an ethnomusicologist trained in researching tunes," to sing and record each of the ballads. Fumerton and Nebeker note that matching these broadside ballads to tunes and accurately recording them is not without its challenges, but that providing these recordings greatly enhances both the research value and pedagogical value of the EBBA database. },
