Some places where you can find IIIF maps:
❗Please note: not all of these collections expose the IIIF manifest to the public (contact us to learn the tricks) and some of them are currently not compatible with Allmaps.
Load
. At the top you now see four tabs (you can always go back and forth). If you get an error message, double check if you copied the right link.Collection
tab (often there’s only a single image to select). The two icons indicate whether a map already contains a mask and/or control points.Mask
tab and draw a mask by zooming in and clicking the image. The mask will be used to crop the map in the viewer. If you want to start again, click the middle button of the menu on the bottom right. This opens up a panel listing all masks; click the bin to remove one (there’s no way to undo this currently). You can move points around or add new points to the mask by dragging points or lines. You can also remove a point by clicking it while holding shift.Georeference
tab. On the left you see the selected image, on the right a world map. Zoom to the region of the map on the right. Click a point you recognise on both maps (which has remained the same over time), such as a church tower or a road crossing. Add the point on both sides (a number will indicate that they are paired). Add at least three of these points (they are called control points) and try to spread them as much as possible. If you unfold the layers panel (middle button of the menu) you obtain an overview of your mask and the control points. You can remove points if needed (there’s no undo function yet). You can also select another mask and add points for that selection.Results
tab and open the link in a new browser window. Depending on the input you can open a single georeferenced map (one mask), all the georeferenced maps on the single image or all georeferenced maps containing within the manifest. The georeferenced map will now open in the Allmaps Viewer. You can go back and forth between the original image and warped map by clicking the buttons in the top right corner. If the IIIF manifest contains multiple images and if more than one were georeferenced, all images are rendered at once.❗Removing points from the menu might confuse the numbering. Reload the page to reset the numbering. Note that the order of numbers could change after reloading the page.
The Allmaps Editor automatically saves your work. If you close the window, open the editor again, paste the same IIIF manifest link, you can continue to edit. If somebody else is editing the same map at the same time, their changes will become visible in real time. This also means somebody else can change your work, which is why you might want to save the results independently of the Allmaps Editor. Follow these steps:
Show annotation for:
