LSE Digital Library (Quartex — IIIF / OAI-PMH) is one of 7 APIs that [London School of Economics and Political Science](https://apis.io/providers/lse/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Library, Digital Collections, IIIF, OAI-PMH, and Metadata. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The LSE Digital Library publishes digitised and born-digital material from LSE Library collections. The host CNAMEs to lse.custom.url.quartexcollections.com, an LSE tenancy on Adam Matthew Digital's Quartex platform, and all assets and service endpoints resolve to *.quartexcollections.com. The About page states IIIF manifests are available per item and that metadata can be downloaded at scale via OAI-PMH, directing large-scale users to library.enquiries@lse.ac.uk. No OAI-PMH base URL is published — /oai and /OAI on this host return the site's SPA shell with HTTP 200, which is a soft-404, not an endpoint. The collection is LSE's; the platform, the manifests and the APIs are Quartex's.
