[tijmenbaarda]

The EDPOP team want to include a number of full-text datasets into the VRE. (See separate tickets for other types of datasets.) These include:

   • Publisher: University of California Santa Barbara

   • Publisher: Biblioteca comunale dell'Archiginnasio, hosted by Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna
   • Free access: yes
   • API available: use of IIIF, so it should be possible to access both metadata and images using an API. However, I was not able to find out on the website how to access the API: https://bub.unibo.it/it/bub-digitale

3. Raccolta delle Stampe "Achille Bertarelli": https://bertarelli.milanocastello.it/

Finland

1. Digitized broadside ballads at the City Library of Hämeenlinna: https://lydia.hameenlinna.fi/exhibits/show/kaunokirjallisuus/arkkiveisuja
   • Publisher: City Library of Hämeenlinna
   • Free access: yes

   • Publisher: Cleveland Public Library

I cannot find any textual or image data on this page; only physical items with their metadata. In the library's digital gallery I get a large number of results when searching for 'chapbook' though: https://cplorg.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/search/searchterm/chapbook . IIIF is used, but not clear how to access it. There must be a way though.

2. Gazettes européennes du 18e siècle: https://www.gazettes18e.fr/
   • Publisher: Institut d'Histoire des Répresentations et des Idées dans les Modernités
   • Free access: yes
   • API available: no information

European Chapbooks: we have received a tab delimited file with all metadata, and the confirmation that we can use a OAI-PMH API and that it is available through IIIF.
