It enables its users to structure information about physical or virtual people, places, things; to express relationships between these objects; to curate public digital archives; and to develop public digital Exhibits. CurateScape () is a theme and plugins package that allows users to create locationbased itineraries drawn from Omeka items optimized for mobile devices. CurateScape can be used in a wide variety of settings. Both Omeka and CurateScape are freely available with the only cost to the scholar being web hosting. These advantages make both tools ideal for diverse classroom settings. In this tutorial, we will learn how to curate and exhibit historical data, developing our own example locationbased tours. Workshop Content Setting Up Omeka & CurateScape This section provides general instructions and resources for installing Omeka and CurateScape. The Wired! Lab | Duke UniversityVictoria Szabo & Hannah Jacobs 20161 Web Hosting Omeka and CurateScape are both available for free. However, they must be hosted on a web server such as Reclaim Hosting (https://reclaimhosting.com/), a service whose plans start at $25 per year. Reclaim Hosting provides helpful instructions for installing Omeka here: . Installing CurateScape Once you have an Omeka site set up, you will need to install CurateScape and its required plugins. Note that the web version of CurateScape is free, but creating a CurateScape app that users can access through an app store costs $7000+ for a limited time. To install the free version of CurateScape, follow their instructions on Github: https://github.com/CPHDH/Curatescape. This installation must be completed either through Reclaim Hosting’s File Manager via FTP (File Transfer Protocol or Program). We recommend orusing Cyberduck (https://cyberduck.io/) or FileZilla (https://filezillaproject.org/). Reclaim Hosting also offers documentation for accessing their services via FTP: .

To allow users to describe Collections and Items in an organized, consistent, extensible way, Omeka makes use of the Dublin Core metadata standard ( Omeka uses ).11 Metadata is carefully categorized information about an object such as its discovery date, geographic origin, creator, format, or owner. A metadata standard is a widely accepted set of terms used to categorize The Wired! Lab | Duke UniversityVictoria Szabo & Hannah Jacobs 20162 Dublin Core because it allows scholars to catalog as wide a variety of objects as possible. Therefore, any objectphysical or virtual, animate or inanimate, environmental or culturalcan be archived as an Item. A Collection of Items, which uses the same metadata fields as Items, can be defined however a scholar chooses. 1. Before we begin adding Collections and Items to an Omeka archive, we’ll want to take time to consider our data structure by answering the following questions: a. What are our Items? How many are there? What kinds of metadata do we have for them? b. How will we organize our Items? What kinds of parameters will we use to separate our Items into Collections? Parameters might include theme, geographic region, time period, typology, etc. c. Which Dublin Core fields will we use to describe our Collections and our Items? Which formats will we use for recording dates, place names, etc.? Identify a consistent way of describing your metadata for each field. Record your data structure choices in project notes that you keep outside of Omeka. Create spreadsheets of your archival data (one for Items, one for Collections) using Dublin Core terms as column headers in preparation for entering your data into Omeka. 2. Use a spreadsheet to organize your data before you move it into Omeka: each Item should have its own row while Dublin Core fields should be divided into columns. metadata. Using a standard ensures that a wide range of archival collections could be added to or combined. (Indeed, Omeka makes this possible.) The Wired! Lab | Duke UniversityVictoria Szabo & Hannah Jacobs 20163 Omeka’s Interface Much like WordPress, Drupal, and other web content management systems, Omeka can be run on a web server and administered in a dashboard area accessed through a browser. Beginning an Omeka Archive 3. You should have received an account activation email prior to the workshop. Check your Junk/Spam folder if you do not see it in your Inbox. Follow the email’s instructions to confirm your account. 4. Navigate to to login. 5. You will be redirected to the workshop’s Omeka dashboard. 6. Look at the left menu in your browser window. Here we can access locations for creating Collections and Items. 7. The Collections and Items sections provide areas for users to add and edit Dublin Core metadata. The data entry forms for both are formatted the same: 8. Navigate to “Items”, and click “Add an Item” to view the form. 9. Navigate to “Collections”, click “Add a Collection”, and view the form. Note the similarities between the “Items” and “Collections” forms: how are they be used differently? 10. Before continuing, note the enu. In this area, you will find controls for adjusting your top muser settings, settings and appearance of the website, and plugin configurations. The Wired! Lab | Duke UniversityVictoria Szabo & Hannah Jacobs 20164 Adding Collections & Items 11. Once you have decided on a data structure, begin your Omeka archive by creating a collection. Navigate in the left menu to “Collections”, and click “Add a Collection”. 12. Enter your metadata in the appropriate Dublin Core fields. 13. When you have finished adding metadata, check the “Public” box at the top right of the Add Collection page. 14. Then click “Add Collection” to save and publish your Collection. 15. You will be redirected to the Browse Collections page. Now your Collection is listed in a newly created table. Note that your collection is empty: Total Number of Items is listed as 0. 16. So let’s add Items to your Collection. Navigate to “Items” in the lefthand menu. Click “Add an Item” to fill out the Dublin Core for one Item. 17. Note that it is possible to add multiple entries to a single Dublin Core field by clicking the “Add Input” button below a Dublin Core field. 18. To add links, images, and embed interactive media in a Dublin Core field, check the “Use HTML” box below a Dublin Core field. The Wired!
