UMD Collection on the Internet Archive

aid: university-of-maryland-college-park:internet-archive
name: UMD Collection on the Internet Archive
description: The University of Maryland, College Park collection at the Internet Archive, documented by
  UMD Libraries as one of their ten Open Data services with archive.org's advancedsearch.php given as
  the query endpoint and a worked Python example. The collection identifier is university_maryland_cp
  and it held 10,674 items when probed. The digitised items and the curation are UMD's; the search API,
  its parameters and its operation are the Internet Archive's. Distinct from the Archive-It web-archiving
  entry, which is a different UMD Libraries service on the same organisation's infrastructure. The human
  collection page at archive.org/details/university_maryland_cp is an SPA shell that returns a generic
  Internet Archive title with no UMD content in the served body, so the machine-readable query is pointed
  at instead.
