Arvest for Chrome
Collect the web into Arvest
A browser extension that adds what you find on the web to your Arvest account: the images, videos and PDFs of a page, each as a document, or a whole page or site captured as a IIIF manifest, with everything on it annotated and linked to its source.
The extension is coming to the Chrome Web Store. Until then, it can be installed from its code on GitHub.
Collect the media of any page
Open the extension on a page: it lists the images, videos, PDFs and YouTube or PeerTube videos it finds. One click adds each one to Arvest as a described document, ready to place in a project.
Snapshot a page
Capture a page as it is today. It becomes a IIIF manifest: the full-height page on a canvas, with an annotation over each image, video and block of text that links back to the original, plus the address and the date it was taken.
Archive a whole site
Follow a site's links and capture page after page, as deep and as many as you choose, into one manifest with a canvas per page. It runs in the background while you keep browsing.
