Nearly everyone has read Shakespeare at some point in their life, but
few have had the chance to read the original editions. Shakespeare
Census has compiled a database of 1,843 "extant copies of all editions
of Shakespeare's works through 1700, excluding the folios." Readers may
wish to begin by reading the About page for information on navigating
the site. On the home page, visitors will find a list of all of the
Bard's works. Clicking on a specific text will take you to a list of
publications, organized by edition. This listing also gives the year of
publication, the number of existent copies, and more. Selecting a
particular edition opens a list of library locations of original texts,
along with provenance and copy-specific notes on the texts (accessible
by clicking on a library name). For organization purposes, each copy has
"a unique identifier, the SC #." Readers interested in viewing
digitized versions of the original texts can click the camera icon on
the right side of each listing. One could spend hours simply browsing
the enormous collection, but users interested in a specific text can use
the Search function in the top right of the website. Shakespeare Census
is a work in progress and hopes to continue expanding its collection as
more texts are discovered.
