Omeka is a great tool to use for classroom #DH projects. It's intuitive and a great place to compile all the curated collections you have your students developing. Plus, the exhibit builder is easy to use, and creates a great final interactive layer to showcase the underlying work.

To further celebrate this occasion, we’ve included a plate of one our favorite illustrations—the amazingly distorted necks on Audubon’s pair of #CanadianGeese, as included in #BirdsOfAmerica [1839].
