Using IIIF provides integration with Universal Viewer as well as out-of-the-box compatibility with other viewers using the IIIF standard, such as Mirador and the Internet Archive Book Reader. The new site is built on solid, scalable infrastructure enabling all of the images to be presented together online for the first time, and with the ability to add many, many more as new digitisation projects are commissioned. The scale of some archives regularly caused the site to crash, requiring effort from Library staff to rectify. The previous EAP site could not process all of the images, meaning some archives were unavailable to users. The Endangered Archives Programme has been running for over a decade, and has amassed over six million images.
