Sign Language datasets

I’ve recopilated a (non-exhaustive) list of:

• Handshape Datasets: Mostly images of hands annotated with their corresponding shape for image classification)
• (proper) Sign Language Recognition Datasets: Mostly sets of videos with segmented or unsegmented sign recorded by sign language interpreters.

If you know of datasets I’ve missed in these lists please contact me.
