Community & Capacity Building
Image-Based Research with IIIF

What is it?
Demo
Opportunities Are Endless
We need to lower barriers for our scholars to picture, pursue, and challenge what's possible with image-based research and teaching.
Image-Based Research with IIIF
- We Need to Stop Reinventing the Wheel
- Researchers are spending their time & grants on bespoke, basic, and expensive image infrastructures
- Resources would be better spent on the inventive parts of their research
- Using IIIF helps us build more flexible and adaptable solutions
- Opportunity to support humanities "close reading" and ML/AI batch analysis at the same time
Why?
