IIIF to CWorld is a browser extension designed for Chrome, Brave, and Firefox that enables users to open IIIF manifests, Internet Archive videos, and geolinks directly in Chronoscope World. The extension adds a context menu item to links, allowing users to right-click and select the option to open IIIF books, Internet Archive videos, or geolinks in Chronoscope World, which is a browser-based IIIF viewer. This functionality is particularly relevant for library collections and digital archives, as IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) is a web format commonly used for resources such as old books, newspapers, maps, photos, and paintings.
The extension presents IIIF manifests and Internet Archive videos as thumbnails, making navigation and selection more visual. It also supports Smart Drag’n’Drop, enabling the import of compatible links from a variety of sources, including search results from libraries that support this feature and permalinks shared on platforms like Mastodon or Bluesky. Additionally, the extension allows users to open geolinks from Wikipedia pages, displaying the specific coordinates within Chronoscope World.
Installation instructions are provided for Chrome and Brave through manual loading in developer mode, as well as for Firefox via the official Mozilla add-on. The tool is distributed under the MIT License, and its development and design are attributed to Matthias Müller-Prove. The extension is positioned as an aid for those working with digital collections, such as researchers or archivists, who wish to view IIIF resources and Internet Archive content within the Chronoscope World environment.
