IIIF - The digitized manuscripts revolution we've all been waiting for!

We created the DMMapp to make it easier for you to find collections of digitized manuscripts - and IIIF is making it easier for you to view, study, and compare manuscripts. In this post we are going to tell you all about why it’s awesome! In 2011, a group of international libraries and universities (Stanford University, The British Library, Bodleian Libraries, The Bibliothèque nationale de France, the National Library of Norway, Cornell University, and Los Alamos National Laboratory Research Library) set up the International Image Interoperability Framework, or, in short, IIIF (pronounced as triple-I-F).
