Acknowledgements

Many individuals and organizations have helped to get pibroch’s source materials online in an open-access, user-friendly, comprehensive, and rigorous way. The Pibroch Network is grateful to everyone who has contributed, directly and indirectly, to the collective operation that began in 2007. Phase 1 of this site, focusing on the primary sources of all pibrochs transcribed before 1841, was completed on 16 May 2016.

A report summarising the roles of key individuals is here.

	The Piobaireachd Society owns many of the sources deposited in the National Library of Scotland. The Society gave permission for them to be digitised and many of the PDFs hosted here were created and uploaded by Roderick Cannon, Ross Anderson, Robert Wallace and Jack Taylor. They first appeared between 2008 and 2011 on the websites piob.info and piobaireachd.co.uk.
	The National Library of Scotland has provided images and granted permission for these to be made available online for non-commercial playing and study uses, including downloading and printing.

	In 2007, The Carnegie Trust paid for the scanning of the Colin Campbell and Peter Reid manuscripts. This initiative was led by William Donaldson, Steve Scaife and Jim McGillivray who were the first to get pibroch sources online at ceolsean.com and pipetunes.ca.
Bass culture in Scottish musical traditions was a 3-year research project funded by the UK's Arts & Humanities Research Council involving the Universities of Glasgow and Cambridge and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. It funded three things between May 2013 and October 2015: Barnaby Brown's time developing this resource in collaboration with David Hester; the production of audio content, including Allan MacDonald's pronunciation of Gaelic tune titles; and the digitising of sources J and AC. The result forms a counterpart to Barnaby Brown's PhD thesis, 'The craft of pibroch: a study of the technical language of eighteenth-century Highland pipers', due to be submitted in 2022.
