Gerald S. Doyle (1892–1956) was a Newfoundland businessman and folk song collector. With the benefit of wealth acquired as a manufacturer and distributor of drugs and patent medicines, Doyle sought to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Newfoundland. He was known especially for his company’s sponsorship of a daily radio news program broadcast across the island, which included personal messages of interest to those living in isolated fishing villages. Doyle’s publication and free distribution of Old-Time Songs and Poetry of Newfoundland was perhaps his most significant contribution to the preservation of Newfoundland culture. Appearing in five editions beginning in 1927, the “Doyle Songbooks” consisted of material collected during his travels in the outports over the years.
