The Vatican Library & The Digitization Project

With technical support from Stanford Libraries and funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Vatican Library (the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana) launches Thematic Pathways on the Web, establishing a new baseline for online libraries by enhancing the digital delivery of some of the world’s most important collections. Thematic Pathways uses Stanford’s platforms as a foundation, including the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), a set of image standards established by Stanford Libraries, the Bodleian Libraries at Oxford University and the British Library among others.
