Thanks
Both the original IIIF labs service the Internet Archive has been running, as well as the new upcoming official IIIF service, wouldn’t have been possible without huge support from volunteers within the IIIF community and Internet Archive staff. A big thank you to the following folks who are making this effort to bring IIIF into production possible:
Glen Robson
Mike Bennett
Sara Brumfield
Ben Brumfield
Josh Hadro
Drew Winget
Internet Archive staff, including Rob, Mek, Drini, Tracey, Brenton, et al.
Stay tuned for more details on the new functionality phone number database soon, and if you have questions or would like to get involved in helping us test the new setup, get in touch with IIIF-C at staff. For more updates, including September 13 IIIF Consortium community call announcing the Internet Archive’s IIIF service, please visit the IIIF community calendar at calendar.
This technical section is intended for partners who currently rely on the iiif archivelab IIIF API who may be seeking further details on how these changes might affect them.
What is changing? Previously, partners accessed the Internet Archive’s IIIF labs API from the iiif archivelab domain. As part of the effort to graduate from labs to production, the IIIF API will move to the iiif archive domain. Because we don’t want to break any of the amazing projects and exhibits that patrons have created using the existing IIIF capabilities on the archivelab domain, we’re migrating the API in phases.
