Archive building support (Archives)

An overview of our Omeka S–based archive builds that make records findable and ready to share.

Digital archive with Omeka S

Field Archive standardizes on the international digital archive platform Omeka S for every build.

By designing to Dublin Core, we plan for future system migrations and data integration with Japan Search (National Diet Library).

This page shares a high-level view of what we build with Omeka S and how Japan Search integration works.

What you’ll learn here

  • Why we standardize on Omeka S and its benefits
  • How we design metadata with Dublin Core in mind
  • Key points for publication and ops with Japan Search in view
  • A practical, small-scope rollout path to get started

Example rollout steps

  1. Hear current materials/records and how you want to use them
  2. Draft a small-scope design and rough estimate for priority materials
  3. Run a pilot and ops test, then decide full rollout and publication scope

Rather than digitizing everything at once, we start where the burden is lowest and expand coverage gradually.
