The document discusses how the Colby College Museum of Art implemented the IIIF image API and presentation API to address issues with their legacy digital asset management system. The goals were to provide transparency for non-technical users, use existing collections data, and standardize image formats and metadata. Stage 1 involved setting up an IIIF image server and replacing their deep zoom tool. Stage 2 generated presentation manifests with rights information and object metadata. Future plans include using IIIF to power presentations and automate image handling based on rights.
