Adding Page Metadata
Every page should have:
- Page Title
- Shortened version of title that will appear in the side exhibit menu
- Page Slug: appears in the URL - choose something short!
- Select "File with Text" as your layout so you can add the text to your exhibit image

Best practice is to write out your content and map out your exhibit pages in a separate document so you can copy/paste in your content.
Important note!!! Don't put your text in Word and copy/paste it into Omeka. It won't look good! Please write your text in a text editor like notepad or even in a plain text email. Copying and pasting from a text editor will ensure your prose remains intact.
Adding Image Captions
When you add your item to the exhibit, provide a caption that includes:
- Creator: First name Last name
- Title: If no title, use descriptive sentence
- Date
- Provenance or collection: where is it from?
- Medium/Materials: photo, painting, etc.
- Size of work: cm, inches, pixels
