Mapping The Irish Rebellion

I've been experimenting a lot lately alongside the Leaflet-IIIF plug-in. The plug-in allows yous to display IIIF manifests inward Leaflet maps. This map of Van Gogh's Self-Portrait Dedicated to Gauguin shows how yous tin flame purpose the plug-in to pan & zoom roughly an IIIF manifest. While this Compendium of Victorian Map Games shows how yous tin flame charge dissimilar manifest URLs into the same Leaflet map.

One of the primary advantages of using Leaflet to display IIIF manifests is that yous tin flame switch betwixt a map together with an IIIF manifest alongside some ease. In other words Leaflet tin flame locomote used to exhibit the place of geo-tagged images together with render an interface inward which yous tin flame pan & zoom roughly these really same images. You tin flame become a ameliorate thought past times looking at this demo map of Dublin 1916.

This map uses a set out of postcards created subsequently the 1916 Rising inward Dublin. These postcards are held past times the UCD Digital Library. The map shows the place depicted inward each of the images. If yous click on a marking therefore yous tin flame persuasion the postcard selected together with pan & zoom roughly the image.

Switching betwixt a basemap map layer together with an IIIF manifest is non every bit straightforward every bit yous mightiness think. The argue for this is that the map together with the IIIF manifest purpose dissimilar map projections. Therefore yous postulate to modify the map projection every fourth dimension yous switch betwixt a manifest together with the map.
