AVAnnotate
AVAnnotate uses free and open-source web tools 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.
