Iberian Books

Iberian Books offers a foundational listing of all books published in Spain, Portugal and the New World or printed elsewhere in Spanish or Portuguese during the Golden Age, 1472-1700. Bringing together information on 131,000 items, surviving in 650,000 copies worldwide, it is embedded within a platform that uses data repository services, GIS + digital mapping, data visualisation, computer vision/image search, web annotations, IIIF and Mirador. Ground-breaking searches are possible (for instance by gender or size of the work), while 230,000 pages contain illustrations or ornamental features which have been indexed and made searchable using image-match technology.
