Take-down requests

If necessary, institutions that contribute metadata to DPLA can request that records be removed from DPLA, for example in the case of a take-down request from a donor, copyright holder, or other party. Records are typically added or removed from DPLA during the standard quarterly harvest schedule, however individual records can be removed outside of that schedule when required. Upon request, DPLA will remove the record(s) from their search index, which removes the metadata and thumbnail image from the DPLA portal and metadata API.
