LUNA now supports sharing LUNA collections and sharing non-LUNA IIIF collections.

With version 7.5.2 (released in August ‘21) LUNA admins can add any IIIF enabled non-LUNA content to their own LUNA instance. We’ve illustrated this in the Sample LUNA instance linked below where you can see both LUNA shared collections (David Rumsey Maps & AMICA) along with a couple of IIIF collections (Freer Art Gallery & Yale Maps) that are IIIF Activity Stream enabled.

With this release we also enhanced LUNA’s support for annotations using Open Annotations in the Mirador 2 Viewer.

LUNA v7.5.2 introduces an expanded approach to Collection Sharing so you can increase the value of your LUNA content offerings.

Through IIIF Activity Streams, LUNA administrators can add public collections from outside sources to their own LUNA instance and share public collections with others.

The LUNA Admin now has access to a new Sharing Tool to add collections and manage tasks.
