About Omeka

Omeka is an online content management system that enables you to create dynamic online exhibits that showcase collections of digital images, text, and other multi-media formats in one seamless site.

There are three versions of Omeka, each slightly differing in functionality and purpose. This guide is focused on getting started with Omeka.net which is supported by UMKC Libraries Digital Scholarship Services for UMKC faculty, staff, and student use.
