AVAnnotate

Get Started

AVAnnotate uses free and open-source web tools (Jekyll and GitHub Pages) to create static sites on GitHub to share context around AV artifacts. Archivists, librarians, researchers, teachers, and students use the AVAnnotate application to

  • generate IIIF manifests and an associated GitHub repository
  • upload annotations and a URL to their AV item
  • present and share their timestamped notes, annotations, and contextual writing around AV artifacts

Researchers creating projects with AVAnnotate should read through this documentation in order to assist in Getting Started, building a Project, constructing Collaborations, and viewing Example Projects.

Project Components

Basic AVAnnotate project components include Events, Tag Groups (or categories) and Tags, Annotation Sets and Annotations. Users can deploy these components on published AVAnnotate project pages.
