BDH provides free and free access to thousands of digitised documents housed in the National Library of Spain, including books printed between the 15th and 19th centuries, manuscripts, drawings, engravings, brochures, posters, photographs, maps, atlases, scores, historical press and sound recordings. Born in 2008, today it already incorporates more than 218,000 titles (October 2018), of all the themes and documentary types, available to everyone, and from anywhere.
It has been chosen to release different sets of BDH data by different criteria:
* Full distribution of all BDH.
* Specific distributions by type of document.
* Distributions by featured collections.
* Thematic distributions. Note that in this case the complete set of BDH is not published, but a subset, containing only those records in which the field MARC 080 has been filled in, corresponding to the Universal Decimal Classification (CDU). Modern monographs are therefore collected in general terms.
To present these data sets, we have mapped the records of our catalog, encoded in origin in MARC format ([see MARC Format](http://www.bne.es/webdocs/Inicio/Perfiles/Bibliotecarios/MARC21_registros-bibliograficos.pdf “Title”)). For each record type, a series of MARC fields and subfields have been set to retrieve and display, and a literal has been defined to describe the data being displayed.
The output is transformed into: CSV, JSON, ODS, TXT and XML. There is a folder with the results for each type of record.
