[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Digital Object Module Use

[Trevor Thornton]

We’re not using the PUI, so our specific implementation is probably not
that useful. Our finding aids are delivered via a custom Ruby on Rails app,
and the IIIF manifest is processed into a thumbnail viewer with this
Javascript:


https://github.ncsu.edu/ncsu-libraries/collection_guides/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/thumbnail_viewer.js


The thumbnails link out to our main digital collections site, which uses
the Universal Viewer:

http://universalviewer.io/

which takes a manifest URL (like what you have in your DOs) and displays
the zoomable image, metadata, etc.


I did a little searching and found this presentation abstract:


https://iiif.io/event/2019/goettingen/program/29/


that mentions a plugin to embed the Universal Viewer in ArchivesSpace. That
led me here:


https://archives.collections.ed.ac.uk/repositories/2/digital_objects/179


Which doesn't look like it's actually using the Universal Viewer, but I
think it's doing something close to what you want to do.
