Trinity College Dublin

TCD Digital Collections (IIIF Presentation)

The Library of Trinity College Dublin's Hyrax/Samvera digital asset repository, on Trinity's own host and built from Trinity's own open-source application (github.com/TCDLibrary/TCD-Hyrax-Web-App), serving digitised manuscripts including the Book of Kells and registering DOIs under DataCite repository TCD.DIGCOLLS. IIIF Presentation manifests are served per work. On 2026-09-01 every path — root, /robots.txt, /catalog.json and a work manifest — returned a soft-200 reCAPTCHA interstitial from an F5 Distributed Cloud edge, so the 200 status is not evidence of a readable surface.
