These resources, produced by colleagues at the Open University and other institutions, may be of interest to GOTH members:

• Travelling Objects – a set of narratives about a series of objects that have travelled and/or have been used across cultures, borders and geographies.
• Open Arts Objects – short films and support materials about artworks and artefacts from all over the world, created from ancient times to the present day.
• Reading Experience Database (RED) – an open-access database housed at The Open University containing over 30,000 easily searchable records documenting the history of reading in Britain from 1450 to 1945. Evidence of reading presented in UK RED is drawn from published and unpublished sources as diverse as diaries, commonplace books, memoirs, sociological surveys, and criminal court and prison records.
