New Online Robert Burns Exhibit

Rockin' Sockin' Library of Scotland! They're at it again, this time with an online exhibit for poet Robert Burns. You can get it at http://www.nls.uk/burns/ .

This site provides a narrative of Burns' life as well as information about manuscript holdings. On the left of the page, you'll find a series of links that'll take you through Burns' life, from his family background to the legacy of his works. The text is sprinkled with pictures and some audio from the Library's holdings.

At the bottom left part of the page you'll find links for manuscripts and books. The books link provides a bibliography of library holdings that are related to Robert Burns, while the manuscripts link provides information on the Library's holdings that are related to Robert Burns (they're extensive, as you might imagine.) Extremely browsable!
