# Open Source Shakespeare - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `opensourceshakespeare.org` ## Description Open Source Shakespeare (OSS) is an online resource dedicated to making William Shakespeare’s works accessible for reading, research, and exploration. Since its launch in 2003, the site has become a popular destination for scholars, educators, students, and Shakespeare enthusiasts worldwide. Its central offering is searchable access to the complete works, including plays, sonnets, and poems such as Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. Visitors can browse individual titles, search across the texts, or use advanced search tools to investigate specific words and passages. The site also provides a concordance, an index for looking up words throughout Shakespeare’s works, along with character searches and statistics about the plays and the site. For users interested in the project itself, OSS shares information about its history, the edition of Shakespeare’s texts it uses, and how the site was built. Source code and database downloads are also available. The works are in the public domain; the OSS database, concordance, and related data are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International. ## Industries - 🧪 Science and Education - 🧪 Literature _(under Science and Education)_ - 🧪 Libraries and Museums _(under Science and Education)_ ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Dark Burgundy | #770a0a | dark | | Half Spanish White | #fef3de | light | | Navy Blue | #000099 | accent | ## Fonts - Verdana — asset _(custom)_ - Verdana — asset _(custom)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
