State Library of Victoria¶
The State Library of Victoria provides some machine-readable collection data as downloads and image data using IIIF.
Tips, tools, and examples¶
Download an image using the IIIF server and a Handle url¶
The State Library of Victoria makes many of its images available from an IIIF-compliant server. This means you can access and manipulate the images in standard ways set out by the IIIF Image API. Many images in the State Library's collection also have a permanent url, created using the Handle system. These are displayed in Trove. But there's no obvious way of getting an IIIF image from a Handle. That's what this notebook does.
More fun with IIIF¶
IIIF (the International Image Interoperability Framework) has defined a set of standards for publishing and using image collections. The State Library of Victoria makes many of its images available from an IIIF-compliant server. This means you can access and manipulate the images in standard ways set out by the IIIF Image API. This notebook demonstrates some of the possibilities.
