Hi DaveA,

I've just had a look at your https://atkinson-swords.com/ website. My current site is https://weaponscollector.com/.

I have a prototype Omeka S site, but I'm not ready to share it publicly yet. I'll try sending you a private message.

Omeka S seems like a much better platform to go forward with than Omeka Classic, but it requires a level of familiarity with the Dublin Core that few "muggles" have. I've yet to find an eager grad student to help, but I'm looking.

I hope to get back to developing the new website soon and will keep your requirements in mind.

Best regards,
Dana
