This is a reminder about registration for the three upcoming webinars focusing on different aspects of working with OHMS (Oral History Metadata Synchronizer), ranging from just getting started, beginning new indexing projects, or even launching a new Omeka exhibit/site using the OHMS plugin suite. Introduction to OHMS and OHMS: Next Steps will be led by Dr. Doug Boyd, director of the Louie B.

Announcing three upcoming webinars focusing on different aspects of working with OHMS (Oral History Metadata Synchronizer), ranging from just getting started, beginning new indexing projects, or even launching a new Omeka exhibit/site using the OHMS plugin suite. Inroduction to OHMS and OHMS: Next Steps will be led by Dr. Doug Boyd, director of the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History in the University of Kentucky Libraries, and the Integrating OHMS and Omeka webinar will be led by Doug Boyd and Janneken Smucker, West Chester University.  

Since many people are working from home these days, I am getting a lot of questions about working with different aspects of OHMS (Oral History Metadata Synchronizer), ranging from just getting started, beginning new indexing projects, or even launching a new Omeka exhibit/site using the OHMS plugin suite. OHMS provides a great work-from-home platform, so I thought I would offer three OHMS webinars for individuals at different stages of their OHMS workflows. 

Webinar Description:

This webinar explores how to integrate the OHMS plugin suite with Omeka to create a powerful discovery and user experience for online oral history collections.  By displaying the OHMS Viewer within an Omeka item, users can conduct a text search of interviews, finding corresponding moments in an online audio or video file.

We are pleased to announce the release of a new suite of Omeka plugins that allow users to easily integrate OHMS indexes into this content management system, so that you can import OHMS xml files directly into Omeka and search across interview indexes, with the OHMS viewer displaying at the Omeka item level. If you are a fan of these two open source tools, you'll like them even better now that they work together so nicely.

Four new oral history websites comprising more than 550 hours of content have been released by the Oral History Program at the Oregon State University Libraries Special Collections and Archives Research Center (SCARC).
