• The item from the digital collections used is hardcoded, as this was just a proof of concept.

• The serializers that we use to serve our metadata to the bookreader are at this PR. (Don’t merge it!)

• Note this demo uses single JPG images – so is not appropriate for delivering full-resolution pan-and-zoom, which needs a tiling solution (such as IIIF, see below), which we have not yet been able to make work

How to use the demo above:

• In your scihist_digicoll sandbox, check out the bookreader branch and make sure your server is running at port 3000.

• Make sure the indanthren book is available at http://127.0.0.1:3000/works/6lkg923 . If not, fetch it from staging.

• Check out the code for the demo

• run npm run build && npm run serve

• The demo will then be running at http://127.0.0.1:8000.
