Wikidata:WikiProject Bookbindings

A wide range of fine and historic bookbindings can be found in the British Library, both in discrete specialist collections and dispersed individually throughout the Library. In this Wikidata Project, Library staff and volunteers are sharing metadata and images from the currently offline Database of Bookbindings.

This project is part of the larger British Library Wikidata project.

Images from this project are being uploaded to Commons Category: Bookbinding in the British Library.
