LSE Archives Catalogue (Epexio)

The LSE Library archive catalogue at archives.lse.ac.uk runs on Epexio, a hosted archival discovery platform, served from AWS behind a certificate issued to LSE's own hostname. The page markup carries the epexio-discover fingerprint and /api returns a live JSON health response. No public API documentation, schema or OAI-PMH endpoint was found for this surface — /oai returns 404. Recorded because the tenancy is a real institutional fact; not credited as an LSE contract.
