The UWM Libraries have been digitizing our archival collections since 2002, with over 180,000 digital objects available through our Digital Collections - and counting! This toolkit provides a guide to tools that extend our digital collections even further. Below, you'll find tools that enable you to build ad hoc digital exhibits, create timelines, develop visual narratives, and more. We'll continue adding to the toolkit and welcome suggestions for additional applications and ideas.
Mirador (http://projectmirador.org) is a web-based digital image viewer that supports deep zoom, analysis, comparison and annotation of high quality cultural heritage images. It is compatible with the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), and thus has the capability to load and display hundreds of millions of images published on the web by participating IIIF institutions.
UWM Libraries Digital Collections can be accessed via API in order to interact with the collection via batch services and other functions. We are actively developing a guide to using the CONTENTdm API to access our Digital Collections. Contact Jie Chen with questions.
