Omeka Classic

Omeka Classic is a three-part workshop series taught by UO Libraries Digital Scholarship Services. Omeka is an open-source web publishing platform ideal for sharing digital collections and curating online exhibits. Academics, museum professionals, and librarians around the world use the platform because it allows users to conceptualize and build multimedia exhibits without having to learn coding languages.
