Introduction

Working with limited resources, I successfully implemented the necessary data structure to meet the IIIF standard, ensuring full compatibility with the Mirador viewer.

The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) is a set of open standards for delivering high-quality digital images online. Its goal is to create a unified method for archives, libraries, and museums to store, share, and display their digital collections, making them more accessible and interoperable.

A core part of the IIIF standard is the Image API, which requires a specific URL structure to request images with different parameters (like size, region, rotation, etc.). To meet this requirement without a dedicated IIIF image server, I utilized a GitHub repository and GitHub Pages to host the tiled images. This approach allowed me to structure the files and folders in a way that mimics the IIIF URL syntax, providing a cost-effective and practical solution.

Mirador is a highly configurable, open-source web viewer that is purpose-built to consume IIIF-compliant resources. It's used by digital libraries and scholarly institutions across the world to provide a rich, interactive experience for viewing and comparing high-resolution images and manuscripts from various collections, all within a single interface.
