The universities of Cambridge, Man- chester and Lancaster each host a wide range of IIIF image collections via their digital collections platforms. These have been developed via a consortium part- nership, based on open source software developed by the University of Cam- bridge. The collections range far and wide across the highlights of the special collections, archives and collaborative research projects of each institution, from Medieval manuscripts, Newton’s papers and early printed works by Dante, to highlights from Manchester’s Whitworth Gallery and the notebooks of Humphry Davy. The three instances of the platform can be viewed at:

Rewired 2025


The National Library of Scotland have adopted IIIF and the wonderful NLS Maps website utilises IIIF for zooming in on their extensive map collection in detail – https://maps.nls.uk/


The Victoria and Albert Museum have an example of a digital reconstruction of a manuscript with the Teutonic Knights Bible. The website shows the reconstruc- tion, bringing together images from the V&A and British Library – https://www.vam. ac.uk/articles/the-teutonic-knights-bible At the start of June, the IIIF Conference returned to the UK, when over 250 dele- gates from 24 countries came to the Uni- versity of Leeds. The conference marked a milestone for the university, who in May in- corporated IIIF into its’ Cultural Collections Website with over 100,000 IIIF-enabled digitised images now available online and many more queued up to be migrated. The two days of conference talks are available on the IIIF YouTube channel.
