Setting up your Omeka account<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should have gotten an email inviting you to create an account at Omeka.com. \u00a0The email looks like this:<\/p>\n

\"omeka<\/p>\n

This will take you to a screen with a lot of pay options. \u00a0Ignore those<\/strong> and pick the free option.<\/p>\n

\"free<\/p>\n

Go to our Omeka archive<\/a>\u00a0and log in with your credentials.<\/p>\n

\"omeka<\/p>\n

After logging in, toggle to your dashboard<\/a>\u00a0and click “Manage site<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Naming your collection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Observe that I have made a collection<\/a> for your group. \u00a0Change the name to something your group would like to call their collection of artifact photos. \u00a0You can choose anything you like, and you can change your name at any time in the data collection process. \u00a0(I tentatively named my collection “Graffiti, Access, and Erasure.”)<\/p>\n

After you’ve named your group’s collection, you can add items to. \u00a0This is how we will track your group’s contribution to the archive. \u00a0Make sure you “collect” your group’s contributions in your collection. \u00a0No item should be hanging out uncollected.<\/p>\n

Adding items to your collection<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"navigate<\/p>\n

From your dashboard, click “Add item<\/a>.” \u00a0This will bring up the data entry screen for a new item.<\/p>\n

\"add<\/p>\n

You can look at any of my\u00a0items to see examples of field input at my collection here<\/a>. \u00a0See that there are four categories of data field. \u00a0You need to fill out each one. Below is a list of the\u00a0required fields\u00a0<\/strong>of data\u00a0<\/strong>for each item you add to our archive. Hypertext gives you a shortcut to best practices instructions<\/a> for that field further down in this document.<\/p>\n
