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://www.loc.gov/collections/slave-narratives-from-the-federal-writers-project-1936-to-1938/


   ...to compare the data within this collection with data from another collection I'm working with to see if there are any matching narratives.  Thanks!
