CURIOSity Topics

CURIOSity digital collections are dedicated websites with search and browse features specifically designed for these digital collections.

They contain publicly accessible digitized resources from a variety of formats including books, documents, letters, photos, and audio from across Harvard's archives, museums, and libraries.

CURIOSity is Harvard Library's implementation of Spotlight 3.0, a plugin to Blacklight, a multi-institutional open-source discovery platform. Spotlight's content management features enable curators to identify a set of materials as a collection, organize them into any categories they wish, and create additional supplementary content to enhance the collection's presentation.

CURIOSity works by pulling in metadata of digitized items from sources like Alma, JSTOR Forum, and ArchivesSpace into LibraryCloud, the Library's metadata hub. To learn more about CURIOSity, visit the CURIOSity Service website.
