Digital Scriptorium Catalog

The Digital Scriptorium website serves as a centralized semantic portal built on an open-source Wikibase infrastructure. The platform aggregates metadata from American libraries and museums, featuring a library search interface, faceting filters, and a specialized SPARQL query portal. It transforms institutional records into Linked Open Data connected to Wikidata, linking users to digitized manuscripts and images hosted by home collections. Serving researchers, educators, and collectors, the platform provides practical value by converting fragmented data into a free, open knowledge graph for premodern studies.
