Northwestern University Libraries Digital Collections API

Connects Claude to Northwestern University Libraries' Digital Collections API, giving you programmatic access to their archival materials, manuscripts, and digitized special collections. You can search across works and collections, retrieve IIIF manifests for viewing images and documents, and query transcription text using IIIF Content Search 2.0. The API exposes both standard JSON endpoints and IIIF Presentation responses, so you can integrate historical research, metadata extraction, or content discovery workflows directly into your conversations. Useful when you need to explore academic digital collections, cite archival sources, or work with structured cultural heritage data without leaving your development environment.
