This project has been a labor of love for the past two years, and I am overwhelmed with the support I have received from the USCB English Department, the English Broadside Ballad Archive, and the Early Modern Center at UCSB.
On a more personal note: Thank you to all my friends and family who put up with me talking about my research non-stop, my incredible mother for the hours she spent looking over the site, the wonderful people I get to work with at the UCSB Library for supporting me and cheering me on, and my then boyfriend (now fiancé) for always listening and providing motivation and useful feedback.
