    About IIIF: The International Image Interoperability Framework (http://iiif.io), or IIIF, represents an effort by a growing community of LAMs and image repositories to collaboratively produce an interoperable technology and community framework for image delivery of materials in any format (including photographs, digitized manuscripts and archival materials, born-digital records, audio/video, and more) in standards-compliant ways that encourage their adaptability and reuse across a variety of contexts. Enabling access to archival materials through IIIF offers exciting opportunities for collaborative cross-institution storytelling, crowdsourcing, display of hierarchically described digital archival collections, and even enabling researchers to recreate dispersed collections and create new collections based on specific research questions.

    About the IIIF Archives Community Group: The IIIF Archives Community Group focuses on setting best practices for using IIIF with archival material, and collaborates internationally regarding promotion and demonstration of use, exploration of possibilities and documentation of use cases and requirements, and communication between the IIIF community and allied professional communities.


    On behalf of the chairs (myself, Adrian Stevenson, Rebecca Hirsch, and Josh Schneider),
