I’m also happy to spend a session delving further into Omeka, talking about how to build an exhibit, how to set up your own installation of Omeka, and answering questions about specialized uses of Omeka. For this session, though, people should have already have taken the introduction to Omeka on Monday (or Tuesday, if we decide to reprise it).

I’m happy to teach another session on Tuesday of the workshop I did today (Monday), “Building Online Archives with Omeka. Here’s the description:

Omeka is a simple system used by scholarly archives, libraries, and museums all over the world to manage and describe digital images, audio files, videos, and texts; to put such digital objects online in a searchable databases; and to create attractive, customizable web exhibits from them. In this introduction to Omeka, you’ll create your own digital archive of images, audio, video, and texts that meets scholarly metadata standards and creates a search engine-optimized website. We’ll go over the difference between the hosted version of Omeka and the open source server-side version of Omeka, and we’ll learn about the Dublin Core metadata standard for describing digital objects.

My research focuses on an organization that coordinates different social movements throughout Haiti. I would like to map out the surface covered by this organization’s work.
