Evergreen ILS VS Omeka

On the harder side of the world, there are entire open source products like Koha (https://koha-community.org) and Evergreen (https://evergreen-ils.org) that are capable of running large libraries, but require installation and systems maintenance. On the easier, something like Librarycat (https://www.librarycat.org) might work fine for your needs (and if you end up using it, lmk...the developer is a friend) or... Source: over 1 year ago

We use PINES which is based on Evergreen, which is open-source. I believe there are vendors you can pay to help you set it up and run it, and there's a volunteer community that will help, too. Of course, this is at the expense of having someone else run it *for* you, but my understanding is that we (Georgia libraries that use PINES) decided to make the software to address limitations in existing ILSs.

If you Google "COVID-19 digital archive" you can also find a range of projects with different focuses. A benefit of technology is that now many organizations can create their own Omeka site and build a collection to document events in real time. However, I hope the post above demonstrates that while anyone can, any historian utilizing these various resources need to consider the practices undertaken to gather... Source: over 2 years ago

Sounds pretty specialist. Why not take a look at Omeka S (https://omeka.org).
