During this exercise you will curate a story bringing together multidimensional media using Exhibit tool.

The example below shows a story of the Kinora, which was an early motion picture device developed by the French inventors Auguste and Louis Lumière in 1895.

The story brings together images, videos and 3D models to illustrate the history of these artefacts, their context and mechanics. The media with which this story as developed is available here.

You can also view the story here: https://www.exhibit.so/exhibits/zrHKbV2wqdpcRyfVW05M

Developing a story in Exhibit

Using the dataset of multidimensional data which you previously curated, the task is to create a story which brings all of this together.

Use the tutorial Exhibit website: https://exhibit-culturedigitalskills.vercel.app/

You will need to register to use the tool.

More instructions on creating an Exhibit are here: https://exhibit-culturedigitalskills.vercel.app/docs

IIIF content

You can upload files for images and 3D models, or use existing IIIF content with Exhibit.

If you would like to use a IIIF Manifest, you can use a tools such as Digirati Manifest Editor.

Create the JSON file using the editor, and upload it alongside the media content in D4Science. Then you can provide this JSON url to Exhibit.

To create the JSON, use the following JSON files as examples. Pasting the URL links to the in the Digirati Manifest Editor interface:
