Hi Stuart, all,

Very interested in the IIIF-developments as well. A colleague from the
University of Amsterdam recently did a post on Digital Film Historiography <
http://filmhistoryinthemaking.com/2016/03/16/update-digital-film-historiography-a-bibliography/>
and when I asked about the tools in reference to this conversation replied:

Anvil was used by Adelheid Heftberger in the Digital Formalism project in

would be curious to hear the results of your quest.

Kind regards,
Erwin
