Am loving Booksnake (https://tally.so/r/3qGPkY), a new app - currently in beta testing - for viewing -enabled original documents as if they were virtually lying on a surface of your choice.

Here is the of Queen Isabella of England (https://www.loc.gov/item/2021667782/#) from the Library of Congress. I was very pleased that I could leaf through the book while it was lying there, and zoom in/out! @medievodons @histodons

Open manuscript on a floor. Blank page on left, decorated calendar in red and blue on right.
Manuscript page with brown, red and blue lettering and a foliage border on left. Golden roundel in right margin. Library stamp in bottom margin.

This looks very cool. I'd love to know if it'll be fully open source -- the NEH grant seems to imply that it will at least be partially opened up (https://apps.neh.gov/publicquery/main.aspx?f=1&gn=HAA-287859-22), but then they say "patent pending" on the website, which is typically incompatible with a wider open source release. I also didn't find a GitHub repo or anything like that.

(I sent them an email.)

The Swedish Rock Art Research Archive (SHFA) has launched a new digital platform for their collection. The database includes more than 24,000 digitized images. Apart from the digitalised archival materials, there are high resolution images (), laser scans, 3D etc available as CC-BY-ND.

At the moment only the Swedish sites have been imported, more content to follow.

This is wonderful. For those of us who have been, for example, to Tannum and taken inadequate photos of our own it is marvellous to see the range and extent of the petroglyphs and the quality of the images here. Thank you.

@Archasa Lovely to finally see this! Especially the license change for images.

Sadly they actually only provide compressed low resolution images, a little odd given the IIIF support.
