About Omeka S

Omeka S is a content management system built for libraries, museums, and archives to publish digital collections online. It goes beyond simple exhibit creation by including database-driven storage and export features that function as a backup solution. You can schedule automated database dumps, export your entire site structure, and restore from snapshots using built-in command line tools.

It runs on Linux servers with PHP and MySQL or MariaDB, and integrates with standards like IIIF and Dublin Core for metadata portability. The platform supports CSV import/export, which doubles as a lightweight backup method for item metadata. Its modular plugin system includes modules for database backups and site cloning, making disaster recovery straightforward.

Developed by the Corporation for Digital Scholarship, Omeka S is open source under the GPLv3 license. It is ideal for cultural heritage organizations that need both a publishing frontend and reliable backend data preservation. No cloud dependency means you control your own backup schedules and storage locations.
