Sample Projects
Omeka is a great software platform for developing engaging visual collections. Through plugins like Neatline developers can add geospatial and temporal component for users to interact with. For example, Omeka provides us with a platform to share the developing Wilfred "Boomer" Harding and the Chatham Coloured All-Stars collection. We can then take the items in that collection and place them in historical context through maps and timelines. You can see examples of other Omeka and Neatline projects here and here
