Scalar, created by The Alliance for Networking Visual Culture.
With Scalar, you can publish a project online, either in “book-like” fashion (including text and images) or in a more hyperlinked, multimedia fashion (embedded videos, interlinking structure). “Scalar is a free, open source authoring and publishing platform that’s designed to make it easy for authors to write long-form, born-digital scholarship online….. Scalar also gives authors tools to structure essay- and book-length works in ways that take advantage of the unique capabilities of digital writing, including nested, recursive, and non-linear formats. The platform also supports collaborative authoring and reader commentary” (About Scalar).

Manifold
"A Manifold project begins with the author and their willingness to think beyond the normal confines of the traditional print strictures. Allowing for a much more expansive archive of primary sources, such as field notes, moving images, audio, interactive data and maps, photographs, interviews, and archival material, a Manifold project asks that an author think creatively about the broad set of materials that are collected in the process of researching and writing a book ("What is a Manifold Project?")
