Omeka-S

We're partnering with the Accessible Archivist Coalition by maintaining an instance of Omeka S, a web-based content management system for sharing digital collections. These tutorials are meant to suppliment the offical Omeka S documentation and provide additional context for AAC contributors and organizers along with step-by-step instructions with photos (and eventually videos).

If you have any issues with the tutorials, or you don't understand something, please shoot us a message in the AAC Discord.
