About the Project
The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) is a cutting-edge technology that provides a mechanism for displaying visual works using a web viewer in a manner that allows the user to page through and zoom in on related artwork images. In this Fellowship, students selected a set of American artwork images from the Vanderbilt Fine Arts Gallery image collection, carrying out research on the works, and creating a IIIF manifest to display the works in a meaningful way. During the semester, fellows explored the IIIF technology as well as gained in-depth experience with selected parts of the Gallery collection. For their final project, the fellows’ results were displayed on the Gallery’s website, allowing their research to impact a broader audience.
