This UI is beautiful! Probably one of the best collection viewers I have seen. I haven't read the paper yet, but at a quick glance I can see some #IIIF content from tile.loc.gov
Make your unused GPU capacity available for handwriting recognition of historical documents made available via IIIF by Dutch archival institutions, see https://mibudera.coret.org/howto.php
Last week the State Library of Victoria launched SLV LAB a prototyping and innovation lab that ‘experiment[s] with technology to open access to collections, data and spaces’. This prompted a few GLAM Workbench updates, described here: https://updates.timsherratt.org/2025/05/05/slv-lab-and-glam-workbench.html #GLAM #libraries #IIIF #digitalHumanities
With the launch yesterday of the State Library of Victoria's new SLV LAB, I thought it was about time I updated the SLV section of the GLAM Workbench. See: https://glam-workbench.net/state-library-victoria/
I've updated the notebooks, software, and config, and added a JupyterLite version of the 'Fun with IIIF' notebook. #GLAM #IIIF #libraries #digitalHumanities
On May 14, the team from Artemis (Advanced Research Tools for Environmental Studies for historical maps of the Scheldt Valley), will present their work, which leverages #IIIF Allmaps, Madoc, and Linked Open Data to enable historical and ecological research.

@tristanlandry Looks great, thanks for sharing! #liiive also let's you download the data. (It's the little "export" button in the top-left menu.) Also, permanent collaboration rooms publish their own manifests. It's not documented yet. But you can drop the URL https://liiive.now/{room}/manifest into any #IIIF viewer and view the original manifests + annotations, if the room is set to permanent storage.
Fixed a bug today that makes https://liiive.now more robust on unstable connections. For those of you annotating on your commute, in the corner café, or through your neighbour’s patchy WiFi (or eduroam even!) #IIIF #ImageAnnotation #DigitalHumanities
Starting to work pretty well! #IMMARKUS #IIIF #OpenSeadragon
And another one! ✂️ A smart selection tool powered by the "Intelligent Scissors" algorithm from OpenCV.js. This should make complex polygon annotation a breeze! Coming to #IMMARKUS (very) soon. #ImageAnnotation #IIIF
@brewsterkahle Indeed. Très chic!
A #IIIF #ChronoLink for the Chronoscope World:: https://mprove.de/chrono?q=-0.51208,0.66787&z=9.24&m=IFla-revue-theatrale1902-1011-3&s=1&iiif-content=https://iiif.archive.org/iiif/la-revue-theatrale_1902-10_1_1/manifest.json&c=a
And another one! 🧩 The #Annotorious Boolean Operations plugin now has a shiny new README. Adds shape merge and subtract functionality for #OpenSeadragon–perfect for annotatinng complex shapes! https://github.com/annotorious/plugin-boolean-operations #Annotation #IIIF
Want to use Meta’s Segment Anything with #OpenSeadragon?
I finally wrote up a proper README for the #Annotorious plugin: 👉 https://github.com/annotorious/plugin-segment-anything Give it a try—and let me know what you build! #SegmentAnything #IIIF #Annotation
We're delighted to announce that the National Library of Finland has joined the Consortium. The Library has recently begun a 2-year project to implement #IIIF across several of the Library’s systems.
You can learn more about the project on our website: https://iiif.io/news/2025/04/07/Finland/
@aboutgeo Ah, I was not aware of that. For me it’s the other way around more or less. 🙃
Does anyone else have any pointers? I have been tinkering with a Plug library for #elixir and wanted to see if my concoction holds up to existing services' performance. I compared response times with Cantaloupe and so far it looks quite good, but these were only spot tests. #iiif @IIIF
