• 2,056 visits from 72 different countries or territories
• The top five countries represented (in order): United States, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany
• 1,500 absolute unique visitors
• 28% of these visitors have returned to the site

We have heard directly from two scholars who are using the Roman de la Rose Digital Library for teaching or research purposes. We are launching a survey in November as part of our effort to develop the Roman de la Rose membership society. We hope that you will join our growing community.
