Reading Experiences

The Reading Experience Database, based at the Open University, UK. We collect evidence of reading through British history, 1450-1945.

We are pleased to be able to announce that RED is now available for searching and browsing again. The "contribute" function is still under review, but we wanted to make sure that the database itself was accessible as soon as possible: https://t.co/yhHmKhKl0C

Just a bit of gratuitous autoethnography - this book historian’s conference portable library 📚 captured - books new and old, read & still to be read... #SHARP2019 @SHARP_2019 @eureadit @TheUKRED

@TheUKRED A note to contributors and users - rest assured the database and your personal data has not been comprised. IT are working to restore service as soon as possible.

[Reading Experiences @TheUKRED]

Some of you may have noticed that the Reading Experience Database is currently down. Unfortunately, we have experienced a security breach. We are now working with university IT and hope to have RED back up and running soon.
