Open source web publishing platform for sharing digital collections and creating media-rich web exhibitions.
Manage your digital collection
Text, image, audio, video, catalogue all your files
Omeka allows publishing of all types of files: text, image, audio, video, etc. It is possible to combine these files into a single document if you need to. You can also add tags to your document to help visitors find it more easily. To facilitate navigation and ease of use on the site, you can choose to save documents in collections. You can also create your own exhibitions with parts of a collection, or across collections.
An intuitive dashboard
A complete software, but not complicated
Omeka's admin panel is where you manage your Omeka installation. From the dashboard, you can find statistics for your current installation, documentation and collections that have recently been added or modified, and tabs for managing documents, collections, tags, exhibitions and plugins, among other things.
On the top side of the admin panel you can:
- Change general settings for your installation,
- Install and configure plugins,
- Change the appearance of your installation,
- Add, modify, remove users and their rights,
- Delete email fields,
- Adjust the search,
- And manage the security of your system.
To manage users there are 4 access levels for registered users available. These four levels have the following rights:
- Super users, who have access to the entire interface, have the right to change sensitive system parameters, edit users, themes and general settings.
- Admin, who has the right to access and edit documents, collections and tags.
- Employees, who have the right to add and edit documents they have created. They may also be allowed to create an exhibition with any document repository and permission to view public exposure from the admin interface.
- Researchers, who have the right to view all documents and collections either private or public, but cannot modify them.
The power of a catalogue and a website
The best of both worlds
Omeka is designed to meet W3C and Section 508 accessibility standards. You can be sure to have a website that will be readable by everyone and that fits the most common search engines.
