A supplement to the Annotated Bibliography of Ulster-Scots Language and Literature

Compiled by John Erskine

Given here is an interim listing of additional and, chiefly, recently published items which supplement the bibliography compiled by Michael Montgomery and John Erskine which was published in Anne Smyth, Michael Montgomery and Philip Robinson (eds.) The Academic Study of Ulster-Scots: Essays for and by Robert J. Gregg in 2006.

Those items marked with an asterisk have been derived from secondary sources and have not been examined by the compiler. This listing is very much work in progress, and the compiler would welcome further information, comments and proposed amendments to the list.
