Description:

The Ulster-Scots Academy site provides public access to the collections of its sister organisation, the Ulster-Scots Language Society, and to the research and development programmes built upon them by the Academy since the early 1990s. To learn more about the Academy s history and objectives please see the about page.Manuscript page from an untitled and unpublished song by Robert Huddleston, Bard of Moneyrea (1814-1887). Huddleston wrote in pure Ulster-Scots, Standard English and in a combination of both. Much of his voluminous work is as yet untranscribed, but selections from his published writing will feature on the Ulster-Scots Academy in due course. From its beginning the Ulster-Scots Academy has been guided by principled goals. Among these are the following: To elevate the linguistic study of Ulster-Scots to that of a living European language in its own right, and to accomplish this by undertaking documentation, research and publication programmes of the highest academic standard; and by serving as a bridge between researchers, including academic specialists, and the native-speaking community. To encourage the use of Ulster-Scots and the confidence of its speakers and writers. To meet this goal the needs and practices of traditional Ulster-Scots native speakers are taken as the guide wherever possible. To recover the Ulster-Scots literary tradition through its collection and study, and to provide public access to it in electronic and print forms. To ensure that Academy projects support one another wherever possible, and are also beneficial to native speakers. excerpt from Professor Michael Montgomery s An Academy established and the task begun (2003). No need to cry some day your beloved Ulster-Scots tongue will be properly recognized and encouraged in school.
