## Summary
Jupyter Notebooks using the British Library’s Digital Collections and Data is a curated list of Jupyter Notebook projects that demonstrate use of the British Library’s digital collections and related datasets. The collection is hosted on GitHub, owned by the British Library, and is presented in English as part of the International GLAM Labs Community.

## Key Facts

## FAQs
### Q: What is "Jupyter Notebooks using the British Library’s Digital Collections and Data"?
A: It is a GitHub-hosted list of Jupyter Notebook projects that demonstrate using British Library digital collections and related data sources. The repository aggregates links to notebooks and example code in English.

### Q: How can I access the notebooks and code?
A: Access is via the project's GitHub repository at https://github.com/BL-Labs/Jupyter-notebooks-projects-using-BL-Sources, which contains links to individual notebooks and example projects.

### Q: Which British Library datasets or services are included?
A: The list includes notebooks that use the British Library broadly, the E-Theses Online Service (EThOS), the UK Web Archive, and the British National Bibliography, with example notebooks linked in the repository.

### Q: Who maintains or owns this collection?
A: The collection is owned by the British Library and is presented as part of the International GLAM Labs Community.

## Why It Matters
This GitHub-hosted list provides a centralized pointer set for researchers, developers, and cultural heritage practitioners who want to find Jupyter Notebook examples that interact with British Library digital collections and related datasets. By collecting links to notebooks that show how to query, analyze, or reuse data from resources such as EThOS, the UK Web Archive, and the British National Bibliography, the project lowers the barrier to experimentation and reuse within the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) community. As an owned British Library resource and part of the International GLAM Labs Community, the list helps surface reproducible examples and source code in a widely used format (Jupyter Notebooks) and in a public GitHub repository. That makes it easier for others to discover practical demonstrations, inspect code, and adapt workflows for research, teaching, or digital scholarship projects while staying aware of the repository’s copyrighted status.

## Notable For
- Consolidating links to multiple Jupyter Notebook projects that use British Library collections and related datasets.  
- Hosting the curated list and source code on GitHub at https://github.com/BL-Labs/Jupyter-notebooks-projects-using-BL-Sources.  
- Explicit links to notebooks that use major BL-related data sources: British Library, EThOS, UK Web Archive, and the British National Bibliography.  
- Being an English-language resource presented as part of the International GLAM Labs Community and owned by the British Library.
