Abstract
Rising from the Ashes: The Chimney Tops 2 Wildfires Oral History Project is a project led by the University of Tennessee Libraries in collaboration with the City of Gatlinburg and the Anna Porter Public Library. The community-based oral history project documents the immediate and ongoing impacts of the 2016 Chimney Tops 2 wildfires, one of the largest natural disasters in Tennessee history, by recording interviews with individuals who experienced the wildfires or their aftermath. The interviews were conducted in both English and Spanish and comprise a mix of both video and audio-only recordings. While transitioning to a new repository system, the team decided to develop a stand-alone solution leveraging the IIIF presentation version 3 application programming interface for serving the oral histories. This paper describes the project and the team’s experience implementing the project to this new specification.
