Bespoke HTML → Omeka S
University of Manchester
Finding that generic platforms like WordPress lacked essential digital-library features, the University of Manchester's Research IT team built 'Manchester Digital Exhibitions' on Omeka S, chosen for its IIIF compliance and deep-zoom handling of high-resolution historical documents. The platform hosted a major exhibition marking 200 years of the Guardian newspaper, drawing thousands of international viewers and demonstrating Omeka S's viability as a polished, accessible academic exhibition layer. A UK research-university example of adopting Omeka S specifically for IIIF-based presentation where a general web CMS fell short.
