Library instruction guide for the Fall 2023 semester of History 402A: Introduction to Public History.

Your Course Exhibit Project

History 402A students will collaborate on a Mapping Confederate Monuments project. This will be done using free accounts on the Omeka.net platform, which will also be connected to a collaborative class project site on Omeka.net using the premium Geolocation plugin.

The following sections of this guide pertain to your course assignment:

  1. Review the Getting Started with Omeka.net page and set up your free account. For the purpose of this class assignment, please use your CSUF student email account to set up your free account. You can always change this to a personal email address after the course is complete.
  2. Review the Group Projects on Omeka.net page, and watch the video that explains how to join the class project site.
