Skip to Main ContentWebsites such as The Days of Walter Harding and Open Valley show how omeka can be integrated into a classroom learning project. ReEnvisioning Japan is a large digital archive of thousands of postcards, books, sheet music, film, and ephemera relating to Japan in the first half of the 20th Century. It shows how Omeka can be customized to show films, sheet music with play-along recordings, and other features. The Sibley Watson Digital Archive integrates images of letters alongside interactive transcripts. Searching for Ward's includes three-dimensional models of scientific specimens produced by Ward Scientific at the turn of the 20th century.
You can add any type of digital object to your Omeka site (images, videos, audio, pdfs, etc). These can be born-digital objects or digital surrogates for physical objects (e.g. a photo of a sculpture).
When you click the button to add your item, make sure you check the "Public" checkbox - otherwise, visitors to your site won't be able to see your item!
In order to build exhibits on your site, make sure you have the plugin "Exhibit Builder" installed.
Once you start to build an exhibit, you'll be taken to a form where you can enter some metadata about your exhibit. At the bottom of this form, you can start adding pages to your exhibit.
There are several choices for exhibit page layouts, ranging from all text, to text with an image or two, all the way to a page of all images. These "images" on the page can be actual images from your collections, or they can be thumbnails representing other item types (e.g. audio, video, pdf).
The best way to build your exhibit is to plan it out before you start building. Consider:
Your exhibit can bring in any item on your site - they don't have to be from a single collection. Items can only belong to one collection, but they may be displayed in many exhibits.
