IIIF for Heritage Researchers and Practitioners
The international interoperable image format (IIIF) is a way of sharing hi-res images online that is fast becoming essential for heritage institutions. In this session, Kevin Bacon, Collections Senior Manager at the University of Sussex Library, will introduce IIIF and how it can be used to support research and engagement.
The session will cover:
- How does IIIF work?
- How can it support research?
- How can it support engagement?
- Good examples across the heritage sector.
Participants will be invited to try out some IIIF-enabled tools using some items from Sussex’s digitised heritage collections. Please bring a laptop.
The workshop is open to Sussex researchers at all levels - please register using your @sussex.ac.uk email address. Refreshments will be provided.
This workshop is part of The Digital Methods Accelerator (DMA) Summer Camp 2025, a series of in-person taster workshops 30 June-3 July aimed at Social Sciences and Humanities researchers at all levels wanting to explore and skill up on digital methods for their research. The DMA Summer Camp will cover the whole research data lifecycle with sessions planned on each stage of the cycle.
