Omeka

Omeka is a free, open-source content management system for online digital collections.[2] As a web application, it allows users to publish[3] and exhibit cultural heritage objects, and extend its functionality with themes and plugins. A lightweight solution[4] in comparison to traditional institutional repository software like DSpace and Fedora, Omeka has a focus on display and uses an unqualified Dublin Core metadata standard.[5][6]

Its software is currently being used by the Newberry Library as well as many small museums and historical societies.[7] The Missouri School of Journalism uses Omeka to share their archive of 38,000 photographs from the Pictures of the Year International contest.[8][9][10]

Developed by the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University,[11] Omeka was awarded a technology collaboration award by the Andrew Mellon Foundation[12] and is used to teach curation.[13][14]

In November of 2017, The Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media released Omeka S, a new version of Omeka designed for institutional use, providing the capability to host multiple sites which draw from a common pool of resources[15][16] such as Wikidata, in this case through a third-party module.[17] Omeka Classic, the original project, will continue to exist alongside Omeka S with a focus on serving individual projects and educators.[18]
