The data

The following is information for application developers or anyone interested in the information stored within Open Plaques. Take a look at the contribute page to see how you could help. A number of apps have been created based on our data. These are listed on the About page.

You are more than welcome to re-use the data in any way you see fit. The data is released under the Public Domain Dedication and License 1.0 and we make no claims of copyright over either the data we've collected ourselves, nor the hundreds of hours of collective value that have been added by our co-curators. That said, we can accept no liability for any issues that may arise over the re-use of this data, and you are advised to make your own assessment. If you do re-use the data we'd love it if you could acknowledge Open Plaques and link back to us - however you are under no obligation to do so.

We deliberately do not store photographs on our site. We connect and add context to existing resources on the web instead of trying to own it. We supply links to images via the API so that you could use them within you own app whilst displaying appropriate attribution. Some images are licenced as 'non-commercial' and you would need to consider whether to filter these out.
