Building Exhibits with Wax
This workshop will provide an introduction to the open source tool “Wax” which creates simple digital exhibits with a IIIF (international image interoperability framework) compliant image viewer. Using IIIF makes it possible for others to engage with digital objects more fully.
This workshop is presented by the UBC Library Research Commons.
