– Historical Journals• 19th Century• 455 Titles• No Articles• Around 1 million pages
• Developing on top of IIIF– Sitemap of Journal titles– Indexing IIIF Manifests and Collections and EDM– Indexing Annotation Lists to produce Search API
Reuse
• Reuse for research• Reuse to enable better discovery

– Welsh Scientists– Crimes
• Data Challenges:– http://dev.llgc.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Data_Challenges– Welsh Ships– Image analysis of Cynefin Maps
Crowdsourcing• Engage people with our collections• Make items more discoverable
• Mostly with in person volunteers– Started with spreadsheets
• Aberystywth Shipping Records• Difficult to make data available
– Book of Remembrance – Wales at War– Aberystwyth Student Records

Lessons
• Mostly project funded• Need a generic extensible solution• Need to annotate about the image not always inside the
image.• Move from project to program
• Went out to Tender– Digiarti were successful– Prototype end of March– Delivery end of June
