Additional information
The project produced a dataset with the catalogue entries derived from vols. 1-10 of the "Catalogue of books printed in the 15th century now at the British Museum" (know as BMC). The BMC was published between 1908-2007 and comprises detailed descriptions of the incunabula collection at the British Library. The dataset was created as part of an AHRC-RLUK Professional Practice Fellowship project to enable computational analysis with the catalogue descriptions and to encourage further reuse of the descriptions in online resources and in digital scholarship.
