Simultaneously with instigating the Claimed From Stationers’ Hall research network, I’ve also been involved with another network based at the University of Glasgow – the Romantic National Song Network. The website has literally just gone live, and I’m delighted to share the announcement, sent to me by Dr Brianna Robertson-Kirkland, Research Assistant to RNSN. Do visit the website and take a look – you’ll find some fascinating stories!

As Brianna says,
“I am pleased to announce that our website is now live and we have some fantastic content available. Can I draw your attention to Kirsteen’s blog post which tells the story so far: https://rnsn.glasgow.ac.uk/rnsn-so-far/
Also – A wonderful blog by Isabel Corfe who was invited to attend the British Library meeting in June: https://rnsn.glasgow.ac.uk/erin-go-bragh/
And the first of our song stories; True Courage by Charles Dibdin created by our very own Oskar Cox Jensen: https://rnsn.glasgow.ac.uk/true-courage/
As we approach the concert which will be taking place at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland on Monday 18th March at 6pm we will be releasing regular content, so please do share across your colleagues.
We also have a brand new Twitter page @UoG_RNSN so if you are a Twitter user, please do follow, share and retweet!”
