WaxBuilder is a tool built on the shell of Wax, a minimal, static site-builder for digital collections. WaxBuilder includes added features borrowed from CollectionBuilder and Joseph Anderson of the Fashion Institute of Technology NYC’s Digital Initiatives, including different data download formats, a timeline, an interactive web map, subject tags, and more.

Each include, layout, and folder includes a doc entitled “doc.md” that provides information about how to use that folder or file to customize your site.

Before using WaxBuilder, I suggest you familiarise yourself with Wax, including the Wax documentation. You may need the supplemental documentation for Wax, available from Cornell University’s Digital CoLab to help you, since Wax’s documentation is scant. Wax Docs + will also include specific WaxBuilder documentation soon (insha’Allah).
