[Web4lib] Create Interfaces to Digital Collections With Viewshare

[Trevor Owens]

**Sorry for any cross posting on this.**

The National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation
Program at the Library of Congress recently launched Viewshare.org.

Viewshare is a free, open-source platform that empowers librarians,
archivists, scholars, and curators to create maps, timelines, tag
clouds, and other embedable web interfaces for their digital
collections. Supporting multiple metadata upload options, and
featuring data augmentation tools such as geocoding and ISO 8601 date
conversion, Viewshare provides an free and relatively intuitive tool
for building and sharing customized, interactive views of cultural
heritage digital collections.

For more info you can see the launch announcement on the Library’s
Digital Preservation blog at http://1.usa.gov/snqNHc

Best,
