There are 8 pre-built color palettes. This site uses the “tan” color palette; the idahatiu site uses the “marigold” color palette.
There are 4 headline and main-text font presets. This site uses the “Source” font collection; the idahatiu site uses the “Slab” font collection.
Some community archives use different words to describe their community members. We’ve included default language here, along with some suggestions.
The collection of items built by the community can have lots of different names. Options include: archive, community archive, collection, compilation.
This is used in the main navigation for your site, and in the descriptions of your site’s
Items are the individual things that form a collection. Options include: item, object, heirloom, contribution
A contributor is the person who contributed an object. Options include: person, contributor, community member, descendant
A group helps organize individual contributors into related sections in any way you choose. Options include: group, family, related items
A story adds your community’s voices to the web site. Options include: story, history, narrative, tale, memoir
Team members are the folks who work with the community to help collect and post items. This may or may not be part of your community’s collection process. If it is, leave these blank.
Each item should have its own unique filename.
YYYY-MM-DD-ItemNo (so the 4th item collected on May 15, 2022, would be 2022-05-15-004)Each item will have its own
_items folder (2022-05-15-004.md)/assets/items/ folder (2022-05-15-004.jpg or 2022-05-15-004.png).At the beginning of each item file is “metadata”, or information about the item that helps control how it’s displayed. Sometimes this metadat is the only information you’ll need to put in.

Metadata starts and ends with a line that has three dashes and nothing else. (the dash next to the “zero” key on your keyboard). If something goes wrong with an item, the first thing to check is to make sure there’s no space after the three dashes.

It’s used only if the item is a written/audio/video contribution and author and creator are different than the person who contributed the item.externalurl: https://scholarworks.iu.edu/dspace/handle/2022/27448: If the item originated as an outside link or has a social-media link, put that link hereembedurl: https://purl.dlib.indiana.edu/iudl/media/356910rh45?urlappend=%2Fembed: If the item page should have an embedded video from YouTube or another video/audio link, put that link herecreationdate: "March 21, 2022": When was the item created?

Separate these by commas.tags: [ ]: These are optional tags that can be less formal or controlled than the categories.teammember: "Kalani Craig": If a team-member did considerable work prepping an item or helping a contributor, they can be credited here.Most of the formatting for items is taken care of by individual item metadata (see above).
To add additional text, add it below the second set of hyphens that mark the metadata at the beginning of each file.
To format additional text, use markdown. We’ve provided an example page and the markdown that generates that page. Comparing these files side by side is the best way to learn how markdown “translates” to a web page.
The kitchen-sink formatting sample is also a sample blog post, which is linked from the site’s main blog-post list page.
If you’d prefer not to have a blog, but you want to keep the formatting-example post, edit the _navigation.yml file in your _data folder and remove the “Blog” entry.
These files are included in the Github package. To install as a theme gem, remove the .gemspec file.
For a standard site with no digital exhibit, remove the _items folder, the assets/items folder, and the Collection entry in the _navigation.yml file.
For a digital exhibit with no blog, remove the Blog entry in the _navigation.yml file.
