Glen will give an update on the work they have been doing to trying to implement IIIF for their public domain digitised newspapers. Glen will give a demonstration of how this technology is being implemented via their viewer and discuss some of the issues and challenges they have had to face.

Wales Newspapers
Glen Robson @glenrobson

2. Plan
• Introduction to IIIF
• The Welsh Newspaper Collection
• IIIF & Newspapers
• Future possibilities

3. IIIF Vision
Create a global framework by which image-based
resources, both born digital and digitised, can be
delivered to the user
• from any participating institution in a standard
way
• via any compatible image server
• for display, manipulation and annotation in any
application,
• to any user on the Web...

4. IIIF Vision
• with tens of millions of images
• provided by a community of world-leading
research and cultural heritage institutions
• supported by rich and reliable software
• that incorporates the best technologies for
image management and delivery
• while leveraging global web standards
