Supported by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and developed by Mnemoscene, this project was initiated during the Covid-19 pandemic to meet the needs of The University of St. Andrews in the development of its “dual delivery” online and on-campus teaching.
The University of St. Andrews is Scotland's first University, founded in 1413. Its museums and special collections are rooted in, and draw inspiration from, this 600-year history of research and teaching and the pursuit of knowledge for the common good. Consisting of over a million artefacts, manuscripts, rare books and photographs, the collections are used heavily in teaching at the University.
Exhibit was developed in response to the challenge of providing an engaging and interactive experience using the museums and special collections. It addresses the sensory and tactile encounters students would have with this original material. Currently in beta testing, Exhibit is built using the Universal Viewer, an open source IIIF viewer used internationally by galleries, libraries, archives, and museums.
