• "So great to hear about this new tool. The search engine works well, and I particularly love the additional pages on that website, including the timeline and the videos."
  • Levin Arnsperger, Associate Director of the Emory Writing Center and the English Language Learning Program, Emory University

• "I appreciate the idea and the execution very much indeed. The result is fantastic, really, and even more wide-ranging than ‘just’ the letters (which is Herculean enough in itself!)."
  • Matthijs Engleberts, Faculty of Humanities, University of Amsterdam

• "My word, what an archive; I could be gone for months inside this!"
  • Gerald Dawe. Poet, Professor Emeritus, School of English, Trinity College Dublin

• "Congratulations, and thank you for all you’ve done to create this exceptional resource!"
  • Michael Elliott, President, Amherst College

• "Here is how much I love Chercher - the more I look through it the more I go down the rabbit hole of wanting to dig just a little deeper, then more, then more. The researcher and/or the proofreader can just imagine the pleasure and satisfaction of pursuing a line of inquiry to support a query or an idea with so many direct lines to specific sources and connections. The value of this trove to serious scholars and writers and artistic professionals engaged in pursuing understanding of Beckett's work is truly immeasurable."
  • Brenda Bynum, Resident Artist Emeritus, Theatre, Emory

• "What an incredible resource for the field."
  • Eric Colleary, Cline Curator of Theater and Performing Arts, Humanities Research Center, University of Texas at Austin

  • Sharon Maxwell, Archivist, University of Reading Special Collections (UK)

• "You and your colleagues have created a terrific search tool. Do wish Sam Beckett could know about it! You will get selective and useful comments and suggestions from others who are engaged in this research, but I wanted to say thank you for all you've done to aid Beckett scholars. This is one case where "awesome" is the proper adjective."
