Library Data Lab

Explore, experiment, and engage with our digital collections

Library Data Lab is your gateway to the datasets and APIs behind our digitised collections. Whether you’re a researcher, student, or simply curious, this site offers tools and resources to support digital scholarship and data-driven exploration. 

• Browse and search curated datasets from our digital library 

• Access documentation and examples for our APIs 

• Explore examples that show how others are using our data 

• Get inspired to use library collections in new and innovative ways 

Our goal is to make it easier to work with cultural heritage data so you can ask new questions and uncover new insights.

Have you used the Library Data Lab in your research or project? we’d love to hear about it! We are keen to showcase how the Lab is being used. If you would like to share your project or tell us about your experience, please get in touch. If your work includes a publication that uses our data, we invite you to include the reference. We may feature your contribution on our site to inspire others and celebrate your work.
