University of Bern

University Library IIIF Image Server

A IIIF server operated by the University Library of Bern at iiif.ub.unibe.ch, serving images for its digitized collections (Collection Ryhiner, DigiBern, Berner Ortsgeschichten and others) and monitored on the library's own status page at 99.93% uptime. Verified live 2026-09-01 (200, "IIIF Server", Symfony application). Recorded with an honest limit: the public entry point is a management console requiring sign-in, and no IIIF Presentation manifest or Image API info.json could be resolved without an object identifier, so the IIIF API level and version are NOT asserted here.
