This project comes from an amateur, not from the excellent devs here at the Lab. I’m a co-director, not a developer. If you look at the code (github) you will have a good laugh.

(Also to Paul Deschner’s patience with my questions. Thanks, Paul.)

Harvard Library has 13M items in its collection. Harvard is digitizing many of them, but as of now you cannot do a full text search of them.
