Oxford Text Archive OAI-PMH is one of 10 APIs that [University of Oxford](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-oxford/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

A second, independent OAI-PMH data provider, separate from ORA — the Bodleian Libraries' language-resources repository, running on a self-hosted DSpace installation with an OLAC archive description. Showing its age: earliest datestamp 2019, an OLAC record last reviewed 2020-02-26, and an unresolved software template variable in the OLAC access field. Deleted records are transient here, unlike ORA where they are not tracked at all.
