Harvard IIIF

DARTH has just released its newest project in collaboration with the Harvard Library, the Harvard Art Museums, HarvardX, Harvard University Information Technology (Arts & Humanities Research Computing, the FAS Academic Technology Group, Library Technology Services), and various academic departments: Harvard IIIF. The Harvard University International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) website is a centralized resource for documentation, development, and use case scenarios regarding the display and sharing of cultural heritage materials stored within the various Harvard University collections.

Harvard University has adopted the International Image Interoperability Framework standards as developed by the IIIF Consortium for describing and sharing digital assets, and has co-developed the IIIF image viewing software Mirador.

Visitors can explore the site to learn more about Harvard’s work with IIIF, the Mirador viewer, and exciting innovations happening around campus that are made possible by these new standards and technologies.
