Prototype project to generate a free and simple digital collection site using gh-pages given:
See Getting Started Docs for detailed information. Or check the demo site.
pages-collection is intended as a simple template for hands-on teaching about digital libraries.
It can be used in a workshop setting to take participants through digitization and metadata creation, to having a live collection site hosted on GitHub.
Similar learning experiences use Omeka or other DAMS/CMS platforms that are overkill for one off projects.
Although CMS feature familiar GUI administration interfaces, they are not simple to learn and customize.
pages-collection aims to be well documented and easy to configure by following the example.
A project in “minimal computing”, it provides a depth of learning opportunities, allowing users to take complete ownership over the project and make their work open to the world.
Skillz:
Note:
Since pages-collection uses gh-pages, it is only suitable for small collections, with lower resolution images.
GitHub repositories are limited to 1GB.
We prefer commonly understood formats (such as CSV spreadsheets over YAML), and convention over configuration (follow the example over learn all the options).
