This talk will briefly explore recent development by the University of Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania’s Dot Porter, of the manuscript collation visualization tool, Viscoll. Phase one of the project is to develop a Viscoll web application based on the existing .xslt tool could handle idiosyncratic manuscript construction and address various user needs. Phase two will be integrating IIIF manifests with the tool to allow users to view visualizations alongside corresponding images. The goal is to create an interactive environment for codicological study which is highly reflective of scholars’ needs and integrated with IIIF standards and software. The presentation will explore both the developmental approach and the use case it aims to address.
