Omeka Classic

Omeka provides open-source web publishing platforms for sharing digital collections and creating media-rich online exhibits. Omeka Classic was launched to meet the needs of smaller museums and historical societies who wanted to put their collections online and create narrative exhibits. Since then, Omeka has become the main content management system for thousands of libraries, archives, museums, scholars, and enthusiast users' websites. Omeka provides a free and open source answer to the need for a web publishing platform that allows content experts to showcase their unique knowledge about their collections.
