Sharon Freeman, President DeBary Hall, Inc.

Posted on February 16, 2012 by sharonfreeman

I am concerned with bringing our small 501c3 board up to speed with a website and or other internet sites .  I feel learning more about the “Omeka” link, and how it works could not only benefit us but could be vital.  We need to grow and mature as a board. Until recently this had been a hard working board but we have lost many of those people.  There are a few people carrying the load now and others who simply sit and  volunter for events.   To succeed we must broaden our horizons and bring in better qualified members.  I am hoping this session at the “Unconference” will allow me to garner ideas and talk with others in the same situations.

    Omeka is a digital library platform – so a tool for hosting a bunch of things that someone would search, and those things don’t change. It’s good for a photo collect, bunch of e-books, etc.

    It sound like you want a better web tool, so something like Drupal or WordPress. Those would be good for your website contact info, board member list, and other content that changes from year to year.

    Does Friends of DeBary Hall have a bunch of photos of the historic site that you’d like to host, a bunch of documents related to it’s history, or anything like that? If so, then Omeka.net might be a good way to get those out there. The advantage to it is, you can more easily share your pics, docs, etc with other digital libraries and put them out there in the bigger historical community.
