Tropy import and Geolocation data

Omeka S
1

Hello! I’m developing a family history site using an. installation of Omeka S. First, I use Tropy (MacOS) to organize my photos and add metadata to them. They import so nicely into Omeka S with the “Omeka S” Tropy plugin (it’s not an Omeka S module)! But I’d like to add fields that describe the location of the photo, and have Omeka S show those locations on a map.

I’m not sure how to structure the data in Tropy to get Omeka S to place them on a map. I’m also quite confused about which modules to use to receive and display the data (Cartography, Mapping, ???).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Assuming the coordinates import into Omeka, you can use the Mapping module to place them on a map. Just batch edit the imported items and configure the “Copy coordinates to markers” control.

I got that to work. Thank you!
