Navigating IIIF in Art Research:

This article explores how two large art institutions—The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the J. Paul Getty Trust—are currently engaging the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF). Attention to foundational information, including an overview of IIIF and how to use it, is followed by an analysis of its usefulness as an innovative tool for educators, librarians, and students. This is achieved through a discussion on how art institutions use IIIF and how the public can access these images in comparison between library and museum collections.
