Description:

Canopy IIIF is an open-source static site generator that allows you to quickly create digital exhibits using collections in digital repositories. You can use this tool to introduce your research to a wide audience, incorporate multimedia into essays, and provide deeper context to an array of digital objects. Geared toward students and faculty with an interest in public and digital humanities, this workshop will walk you through creating your own digital exhibit using Github and Canopy. It will also introduce you to the image sharing framework, IIIF, which is used by many libraries and museums as a way to share high-quality images. For an example of a Canopy site, check out abolition now. from the Univerity of Tennessee.
