Create facsimile viewer

[LEMDO-PM]

We're not certain what we want/need for a facsimile viewer. Here are some questions that we have:

• Where do we want the facsimile viewer to be on the site?
• Does each anthology have its own facsimile viewer, or do we have one on the LEMDO site? @JanelleJenstad is there anything else that we know/are wondering for this issue now?

Another question:

Presumably we need to be able to link from a text location (pb/thumbnail in the rendering) or an annotation directly to a page in the facsimile viewer, but do we also need to be able to link from a facsimile page back to any/all texts which include that page? Note that this is doable if the facsimile viewer is driven by the facs_.....xml TEI files, since we can scour the texts for any pbs pointing at any given surface, but we will have the eternal problem of figuring out whether a thing has been published or not, and if so, where.

@pszpak We would like to get started on building this in the next two months or so. Can we put a LEMDO facsimile viewer in your queue? Things that we want:

• Capacity to magnify images
• Able to flip through pages forward and backward (and do that using keyboard)
• Able to toggle fullscreen
• I would like a thumbnail view (it's one of the things I love about the viewer on archive.org)
• In thumbnail view, we would love to add some information from the facsimile page on hover (if possible) or have larger thumbnails like on archive.org

I'll Teams message you to set up a meeting about this so we can go over together and figure what needs done from our end.
