| The [https://ebba.english.ucsb.edu English Broadside Ballad Archive (EBBA)] is a project of the Early Modern Department of the University of California Santa Barbara's English department. The project was started in 2003 when EBBA Director Patricia Fumerton noted the lack of access to broadside ballad resources as she researched street literature. The archive contains 9359 early modern broadside ballads and is free to access.
