As authors create content using Markdown, they can reference the source material directly within the text using the <ReferencedItems /> component below. This component dynamically generates a list of all IIIF Manifests that have been explicitly referenced within the markdown content of the page.

Canopy was created by Mat Jordan (Northwestern University) and Mark Baggett (Texas A&M University) as a method to quickly build exhibit style digital humanities projects that extend existing digital collections using IIIF Collections and Manifests. It continues to be an active open-source initiative of Northwestern University Libraries, where it supports digital scholarship in many forms. This example site is built from the Donald K. Adams and Lawrence D. Stewart Collection of Prints and the Indian Paintings on Mica collection hosted by Northwestern University Libraries' Digital Collections.
Canopy uses the IIIF Presentation API to deliver rich media from providing institutions, Markdown as MDX for authoring contextual content and layout, TailwindCSS for the user interface, and a static FlexSearch index for search. Easy aggregation and retrieval of IIIF resources is made possible by the IIIF helpers developed by Stephen Fraser. In addition, Clover IIIF, developed by Northwestern University Libraries with contributions from other institutions, is integral to Canopy and provides the rendering of IIIF resources, annotations, and metadata throughout the interface.
