Hands on with IIIF: A Pillar in Digital Preservation

Summary Abstract

This workshop will introduce the IIIF Image and Presentation standards and include hands-on exercises to create and use off the shelf tools to get started. We will discuss how to set up a IIIF system in production with a small collection and how to scale up to millions of images. We will include a discussion on the wider IIIF community and sources of help and advice going forward.

Attendees will leave the session with an understanding of the different IIIF standards and what choices need to be looked at when setting up a IIIF system. No prior knowledge of IIIF is required and the core sessions should be easily accessible to those with confidence using the Web.

Attendees will need to bring a laptop and images to work with. These can be open access images from your collections or personal photographs you are happy to share.
