Hi everyone, I'm Marii. I'm the Digital Humanities Developer for Columbia University Libraries. I'm going to be talking about minimal IIIF implementations and a project I've been working on called Wax. So Wax started as my attempt to sort of reconcile two competing allegiances. On the one hand, I was working with faculty and students and I really wanted to impress them. I wanted to help make digital exhibitions that could keep pace with their emergent digital scholarship and I wanted to play with data visualizations, custom search features, IIIF, all the fun stuff. On the other hand, I saw my colleagues wrestling with leftover technical debt by performing tedious security audits and massive migrations. I didn't want to add to that debt by asking for new platforms or pulling in more dependencies.
