Legacy presentation → Omeka S
University of Pretoria
The University of Pretoria is bringing its rare and heritage collections online through the open-source Omeka S platform as part of the university's GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) initiative. The library frames Omeka S as an 'innovative platform' for creating new opportunities for collaboration, discovery and engagement around its special collections — protecting fragile originals while exposing them to a global audience through digital curation. It sits alongside the university's institutional repository, giving heritage material a dedicated, exhibition-oriented home. A South African example of adopting Omeka S under a coordinated GLAM strategy.
