<!--ONB.Labs-->

The ONB Labs are the Austrian National Library's platform for digital collections as data. We offer open digital collections and metadata to promote and inspire research, active experimentation as well as artistic and creative usage.

Among our datasets we provide access to images, texts and metadata that are fully open for you to do whatever you like. We also offer a selection of tools that may support your engagement. The ONB Labs are a dynamically expanding service, which will continuously be revised and extended in correspondence to our users' requirements.

Whether you might need support in accessing the data, whether you have an idea for a useful tool or want to contribute your project to our forum, please contact us. We invite you to share your project or codebase with the Labs community.

In the following topic gallery you can explore projects related to our data sets or tools that may inspire you:
