Omeka Demo

Items

Wooden Blocks


An Item is a metadata record with one or more associated digital files. The item is the building block of your exhbit and you need to individually describe all items that you will be using.  This is done is in the Items section of Omeka's administrative Dashboard. Here you can also upload the image(s) or other digital media that you are describing. You can either use Omeka's cataloging tool or you may prefer to use a spreadsheet for bulk upload if you have a lot of items.

Either way, the items will remain in the Items section for:

  • Use in your exhibit
  • Possible export to other applications
  • Possible re-use in other Omeka exhibits
