SLV Digital Image Pool

State Library Victoria has launched the first stage of their new digital object management system (DOMS). In this first phase, more than 170,000 non-culturally sensitive, out-of-copyright images in their digital image pool will have new viewers, which will offer:
• a fresh and more intuitive user interface
• a better experience on mobile devices
• advanced zooming and panning
• persistent URLs for easier sharing
• support for IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework), to encourage creative re-use of images.
The new digital image pool will also include maps and architectural drawings. To promote sharing and re-use, it will be limited to include only images that are not culturally sensitive, and are out of copyright.
The Digital Image Pool is great for quick searches for out-of-copyright images that you can re-use. Just remember, to search *all* of the Library's digitised images, and descriptions for your research needs. Head to the SLV catalogue.
