Shakespeare and Company Project Data Sets, Version 2.0

The Shakespeare and Company Project data sets provide a detailed portrait of Shakespeare and Company, Sylvia Beach’s bookshop and lending library in interwar Paris. This article outlines the research, data curation, and development that led to a major update of the data sets. Version 2.0 augments and refines the data sets included in Version 1.2 and adds two new data sets focused on the authors of the books that circulated in the lending library and the addresses of lending library members. The article should be read as a supplement to “Shakespeare and Company Project Data Sets,” published in the Journal of Cultural Analytics in 2022.
