C4L, Anyone here ever harvest data from loc.gov's digital collections? I was looking for a data harvesting API but haven't seen one. Specifically, I'm trying to harvest data from: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.loc.gov%2Fcollections%2Fslave-narratives-from-the-federal-writers-project-1936-to-1938%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cdavid.uspal%40VILLANOVA.EDU%7C2dbcb2e7815d42bd4aed08d5eb31736f%7C765a8de5cf9444f09cafae5bf8cfa366%7C0%7C1%7C636673520011919551&sdata=WyNxnQ4argI7b9uhbyBtZa%2FKrve9au5Yfu8WuXuIckQ%3D&reserved=0 ...to compare the data within this collection with data from another collection I'm working with to see if there are any matching narratives.
