As part of the ongoing effort to support and encourage long-term preservation of Omeka installations, Jim Safley has designed and released two new plugins for Omeka Classic:
- Static Site Export: This plugin allows a Super User to export a flattened copy of your Omeka Classic public site. Using Hugo, you can rebuild a simplified version of your site that will maintain most of your page elements and all of your resources. Static sites can be useful as a backup and record of your site’s content, and for reducing server load for legacy web projects.
- Exports: This plugin allows logged-in users to create a downloadable export of metadata associated with Omeka Classic items, collections, files, and exhibits. This can be in CSV or JSON format.
Consider using these plugins today to assure that you have preservation artifacts of your work for simple back up or for deposit in an institutional repository.
