Omeka S

Omeka S is a professional open-source web publishing platform allowing users to easily build a website without prior technical knowledge in order to make collections (ranging from heritage to research) accessible. This can range from a complete online searchable catalog to highlighting a few museum or heritage objects from your collections. With Omeka, you can build web exhibitions or stories around your collections. On top of that, visitors can also participate by adding extra information or sharing content via social media. Through additional modules the functionality of Omeka can be extended with maps, specialized viewers, timelines etc.

 

LIBIS offers a customized as well as a standard option. The standard offer for Omeka S is a fixed, ready-to-use package you can fully manage on your own. We can also help you build and design a website that is completely ajusted to your wishes, including the configurations and development of additional features and modules. Please do not hesitate to contact us!
