International Image Interoperability Framework

The Folger is a Founding Member of the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) Consortium, and seeks to use IIIF standards and tools as part of the Miranda platform project.

In the Miranda alpha released in May 2018, we integrated Universal Viewer to display digital images in our collection with a Cantaloupe server in place behind the scenes.

In the beta version of Miranda, we added the Mirador viewer as an option for users who wish to have a more in-depth look at Miranda images, and compare them to images from elsewhere in our collection or in other IIIF-compliant collections.

We also have used the Universal Viewer in our WordPress plugin currently in development, which will be deployed to our Topics and Stories sites.
