Omeka is a free, open source platform for publishing digital collections on the web.

Using this innovative software developed for scholars, build collections of texts, images, or multimedia, and display content through galleries, with curatorial annotations, on maps, and more.

Attendees will learn the basics while creating a small digital collection and online exhibition.
