CollectionBuilder Demo IIIF
IIIF manifests displayed in Universal Viewer
About CollectionBuilder-CSV and IIIF
This is a CollectionBuilder-CSV template featuring single- and multi-page IIIF objects displayed in Universal Viewer.
Paths to IIIF manifests can be added to metadata as the value for object_location field. Thumbs and smalls can use IIIF Image API values or other paths to thumb and small objects within or outside the repository. object_location can either include links to json manifest files that are hosted outside the repository (sometimes can cause CORS issues), or the manifest files can be downloaded and placed in the CB repo’s objects folder and their paths used for object_location values. There is a mix of both cases in this collection.
In the case of this repository, a demo iiif layout was created (_layouts/iiif.html) which includes the Universal Viewer code (_includes/item/iiif-manifest-universal-viewer.html).
Objects then are displayed using Universal Viewer if their display_template value is iiif.
Alternately, in _layouts/image.html one could swap out {% include item/image-gallery.html %} for {% include item/iiif-manifest-universal-viewer.html %} and all objects with display_template value image would be displayed in Universal Viewer, provided that they have a IIIF manifest as their value for object_location.

This digital collection is built with CollectionBuilder, an open source framework for creating digital collection and exhibit websites that is developed by faculty librarians at the University of Idaho Library following the Lib-Static methodology.
Using the CollectionBuilder-CSV template and the static website generator Jekyll, this project creates an engaging interface to explore driven by metadata.
