	abstract = {The United Kingdom Reading Experience Database 1450-1945 (UK RED) is an open searchable resource with over 30,000 entries of readers{\textquoteright} responses. In this article, Shafquat Towheed offers a glimpse into the wide range of materials in which evidence of readers{\textquoteright} response is found, varying all the way from marginal marks to letters to editor sections for newspapers. The UK RED offers around 150 categories to accurately store this information and allows for qualitative and evaluative approaches in recovering and exploring the experiences of readers in the past.  The resource is continuously expanding through the social construction of knowledge of users who can access and contribute to the project. The UK RED team is working with research partners in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and New Zealand in building readers{\textquoteright} responses databases in their regions, {\textquotedblleft}capitalizing upon the respective strengths of resources and needs of each particular society, as well as pursuing best practices in the Digital Humanities.{\textquotedblright} },
