Acknowledgments

 
The Shakespeare Documented team thanks the staff of the partner institutions for their patience and helpfulness in providing images and permissions for the hundreds of documents in the resource. We are deeply indebted to all of the individuals who provided feedback and clarification at every stage of the project. We are particularly grateful to Alan H. Nelson and Robert Bearman, who, in addition to providing descriptions of most of the archival material from The National Archives and The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, also advised and supported the project in many other ways. Special thanks go to:

Leslie, Jessica Fraiser, Anna Levine, Caryn Lazzuri, Emily Wahl, Sarah Werner, Jess Zimmerman, and the Reading Room staff.
