Omeka (also known as Omeka Classic) is a free, open-source content management system for online digital collections. [2] As a web application, it allows users to publish [3] and exhibit cultural heritage objects, and extend its functionality with themes and plugins. A lightweight solution [4] in comparison to traditional institutional repository software like DSpace and Fedora, Omeka has a focus on display and uses an unqualified Dublin Core metadata standard. [5] [6]

Its software is currently being used by the Newberry Library, as well as many small museums and historical societies. [7] The Missouri School of Journalism uses Omeka to share their archive of 38,000 photographs from the Pictures of the Year International contest. [8] [9] [10]

Originally developed by the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, [11] Omeka was awarded a technology collaboration award by the Andrew Mellon Foundation, [12] and is used to teach curation. [13] [14] Since 2016, the Omeka project has been a project developed by the non-profit Corporation for Digital Scholarship.

In November 2017, the project released Omeka S, a new version of Omeka designed for institutional use, providing the capability to host multiple sites which draw from a common pool of resources, [15] [16] such as Wikidata, in this case through a third-party module. [17] Omeka Classic, the original project, will continue to exist alongside Omeka S with a focus on serving individual projects and educators. [18]
