LCSH lite — SQLite databases of Library of Congress authorities
Small SQLite databases built from the Library of Congress bulk authority files (id.loc.gov), for offline lookup in the LCSH Recommendation Tool.
| Profile | Authorities | Download | On disk |
|---|---|---|---|
core |
LCSH (subjects) + LCGFT (genre/form) | about 62 MB | about 205 MB |
full |
core + LCNAF (names) | about 1.9 GB | about 5.4 GB |
How to use a release
Read latest.json at the repository root. It names the current release and,
for each profile, a url_pinned download link fixed to one commit, plus the
SHA-256 of the gzip file and of the database inside it. Check both hashes
before you use a file. Every release lives under releases/<release>/ and is
never changed after it is published.
Contents and rules
- Built by
lcsh-db-builderfromsubjects,genreFormsandnamesSKOS bulk files, with MARC keys from the subjects and genreForms MADS files. - Subdivision records (
-781forms and 18X free-floating subdivisions) are not included; they are not valid main headings. - Name records have no MARC key in these databases; look them up online.
- The schema and the exact supported queries are documented in the builder
repository (
docs/SCHEMA.md,docs/SCHEMA_QUERIES.md).
