Iberian Books

Iberian Books is a bibliographical research project set up to chart the development of printing in Spain, Portugal and the New World in the early-modern period.[1] It offers a catalogue of what was known to have been printed, along with a survey of surviving copies and links to digital editions.[2] It is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.[3] The records created are made available in an open-access database under a Creative Commons license.[4]

Established in 2007 and based in the School of History at University College Dublin, as of December 2016 the project has made available data for the period from the beginning of printing in the Iberian Peninsula around 1472 to the middle of the seventeenth century. In late 2017, the project expects to publish the datasets for the second half of the seventeenth century. The datasets currently available online (1472-1650) hold information on 66,000 items, 339,000 copies, and 15,000 digital copies.[5]

The project works in partnership with the Digital Library Group at University College Dublin and with the Universal Short Title Catalogue Project based at the University of St Andrews.

Project

Iberian Books is a bibliographical resource similar to the English Short Title Catalogue, helping to identify works by a given author or publisher, or on a given subject.[6] In addition, it helps in identifying and mapping broader publishing trends.[7] The datasets are published via a platform that facilitates the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) harvesting of metadata in OAI-compliant Dublin Core and Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS) formats.[8] The datasets have also been incorporated in the open-access Universal Short Title Catalogue (USTC) based at the University of St Andrews.[9]

The dataset has been cited in academic monographs and journal articles,[10] and by major auction houses.[11]
