AVAnnotate
AVAnnotate uses free and open-source web tools to create static sites on GitHub for sharing 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 this documentation to assist with Getting Started, building a Project, creating Collaborations, and viewing Example Projects.
Project Components
Basic AVAnnotate project components (i.e., elements of a project) include Events, Tags and Tag Groups, Annotations, and Annotation Sets. Users can display these annotations, events, and tags on published AVAnnotate project pages.
Get Help
The easiest way to get help and assist others is by posting questions and seeking answers on the AVAnnotate Discussion Forum. The AVAnnotate team can best troubleshoot issues if you include a link to the affected project repository. To do this, go to the Data Manager, click the three-dot menu, and select “Repository” to copy the GitHub repository URL. A member of the AVAnnotate team will respond to the discussion and assist in debugging the issue.
