La apertura de datos es una tendencia mundial impulsada por los gobiernos para lograr una mayor transparencia. En este contexto, las bibliotecas asumen nuevos roles destacándose su participación en las iniciativas de datos abiertos. Sin embargo, existe una dificultad para acceder a estadísticas históricas ya que están dispersas y su forma de presentación dificulta su procesamiento. Para superar estas limitaciones, surge la idea de recopilar conjuntos de datos sobre bibliotecas de la Argentina entre los siglos XIX y comienzos del XX y publicarlos en un formato abierto. El objetivo del presente trabajo es describir una experiencia en materia de apertura de datos históricos sobre bibliotecas utilizando como materia prima a las primeras fuentes censales del país. Para ello, una vez localizados los recursos de interés se preparan para su publicación en un formato abierto de acuerdo con las buenas prácticas internacionales. Se espera compartir los resultados obtenidos en un repositorio como Figshare para que las personas interesadas puedan consultarlos, corregirlos y aprovechar su valor. Se pretende continuar con esta línea de investigación sumando más conjuntos de datos que muestren el desarrollo bibliotecario y su importancia en la construcción de la nación.
