UK - RED (Reading Experience Database)

The Open University (funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council) recently launched the open access database UK RED (Reading Experience Database) which captures the reading habits from 1450-1945.

UK Red is a great resource for exploring the history of reading in Britain and is fully searchable by keyword with browse lists of readers and authors. There are online tutorials to help you explore the database in depth and a section for adding contributions.
