About this tool.
Glycerine Plugin for WordPress brings IIIF image collections, and the annotations on them, into WordPress pages and posts.
The plugin is the WordPress presentation layer for the Glycerine IIIF platform , built by Systemik Solutions. Collections are hosted, described and annotated in Glycerine Workbench , which covers IIIF image hosting, manifest generation, collaborative annotation and publishing. The plugin displays what you publish there, through four blocks: image sets and collections open in an embedded Glycerine Viewer, and annotation tables and annotation cutouts are rendered as HTML within your page.
Configuration
- Go to Settings > Glycerine .
- Enter your Glycerine Server API key.
- Choose your Glycerine Server (Australia or International).
Blocks
This plugin provides the following blocks:
- 01Glycerine Table Embed a paginated table of annotations from Glycerine Workbench with search filters.
- 02Glycerine Image Set Embed a Glycerine Image Set using the Glycerine Viewer.
- 03Glycerine Annotation Cutouts Embed an image annotation cutout from Glycerine Workbench.
- 04Glycerine Collection Embed a Glycerine Collection using the Glycerine Viewer.
License

Glycerine Plugin for WordPress is one module of the Glycerine IIIF platform, and the other modules are licensed separately. Glycerine Viewer is open source under the MIT licence. Glycerine Workbench, Glycerine Server and Glycerine Editor are proprietary: they are not open source, and their source is not publicly released.

External Services
This plugin requires access to external services to function. Specifically, it connects to the Glycerine Server API to retrieve and display image sets, annotations, and related publication data.
What services are used and why
- ARDC Nectar Server (Australia) – https://iaw-server.ardc-hdcl-sia-iaw.cloud.edu.au/api
- Glycerine.io (International) – https://app.glycerine.io/api
These services provide the underlying IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) data and annotation sets needed for the plugin to render images, text annotations, and collections inside WordPress.
