Omeka S for institutional repositories?

Omeka S

Our archives currently host our digital content on OCLC’s ContentDM. We have collections of images, newspapers, meeting minutes, student papers, and lots of governance PDFs. http://contentdm.exchange.viterbo.edu/cdm/

I’m familiar with the older model of Omeka, but not Omeka S. Our university is probably acquiring it to use with digital humanities projects, and they asked if I would be interested in using it in the archives. The archives’ version of ContentDM is not going to be supported soon, so we’ll have to either move to a new model or an entirely new system.

I’ve only viewed classic Omeka sites. Are there any sites using Omeka S you would commend? I visited the sandbox, but I’m interested in looking through a complete site.

I’m trying to determine if Omeka S would be appropriate for our institutional repository. It includes PDFs of papers and mp3 albums of student concerts. http://contentdm.exchange.viterbo.edu/cdm/landingpage/collection/src

Are there any examples of people using Omeka S for institutional repositories? Also, we batch upload using CSV files. Are there any examples of what time of format we should use when I test in the sandbox?

Thank you

Here’s an example of what a concert album looks like in ContentDM: http://contentdm.exchange.viterbo.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/src/id/82184/rec/822

We have a directory of sites using Omeka S. The one which might be closest to what you describe would be the Paris Sciences and Lettres Digital Library

Thank you. I looked through the directory and the site you mentioned, but didn’t see any audio recordings. Does Omeka S support mp3s?

The site of PSL have some old video available (https://bibnum.explore.univ-psl.fr/s/psl/search?itemSet[ids][0]=101180). Omeka supports any file types, they are just files stored in a folder. The browser may not support them (but all common browsers support mp3).
