Open Data: Beyond Digitization

The APS Library has an active Open Data Initiative. Under this initiative, we (1) identify content in the APS Library that is conducive to being reconfigured as a dataset; (2) encourage the use and reuse of the data by opening the data to all, and by easing access to the data.These datasets we create are available for anyone to evaluate, share, reuse, and remix as they wish under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. They are ideal resources for use in college classrooms and digital humanities projects like mapping and text analysis to reveal new insights. Learn more about our open data.
