Colleagues,



The next IIIF Archives Community Group call will be on Tuesday, 12 April
2022 at 9 AM PDT / 12 PM EDT / 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CEST. We’ll be joined by
Jane Stevenson from Jisc.



*Enabling IIIF on behalf of the community: the power and the pitfalls from
an archival aggregator's point of view*



Summary:  The Archives Hub has brought together descriptions of UK archives
for over 20 years, and currently works with over 350 contributing
institutions. We have developed specialist expertise in data processing,
interoperability and discoverability.  Is there a role for an aggregator
like the Hub in enabling IIIF?  Or are the challenges of working with so
many contributors too problematic?  This presentation will give an overview
of the Archives Hub and our current 'Labs' project, which is looking at
both IIIF and Machine Learning, and will raise some of the questions we are
currently asking ourselves about engaging with IIIF.



As always, the IIIF Archives Community Group is looking for potential demos
or presentations related to IIIF and archives of 10-15 minutes each. Please
don't hesitate to let us know should you be interested and willing to
present or demo something on this or a future call.

and collaborates internationally regarding promotion and demonstration of
use, exploration of possibilities and documentation of use cases and
requirements, and communication between the IIIF community and allied
professional communities.

or IIIF, represents an effort by a growing community of LAMs and image
repositories to collaboratively produce an interoperable technology and
community framework for image delivery of materials in any format
(including photographs, digitized manuscripts and archival materials,
born-digital records, audio/video, and more) in standards-compliant ways
that encourage their adaptability and reuse across a variety of contexts.
Enabling access to archival materials through IIIF offers exciting
opportunities for collaborative cross-institution storytelling,
crowdsourcing, display of hierarchically described digital archival
collections, and even enabling researchers to recreate dispersed
collections and create new collections based on specific research questions.
