@timconsidine said in OmekaS:
but I saw one which was awesome in design, layout, clarity.
Can we have a link please?

@imc67 I don't know CollectiveAccess and I have no time to develop an app. It must be doable in the same way as for Omeka.
CollectiveAccess and Spectrum are focused on musem activities and procedures: collections management, events, entities, exhibitions, etc.
Omeka claims to be at the crossroads between web content management, collection management and digital collection archiving systems, and also at the intersection of librarians, archivists, cultural content creators, teachers, researchers, students or museum professionals (curators, educators, vendors) interests. It does not have all the features of the best softwares in each of these areas. It has the main ones to manage collections and to publish sites or exhibitions.

@timconsidine You are right, however, you have to see your real needs. Maybe the simplicity of Omeka Classic is better for yours users. Some excellent plugins doesn't exists or are still in development for Omeka S, like Neatline; even though many have been ported to Omeka S.

Yeah, sorry, I was being a bit vague. Memory was failing.
And now when I look for it, I can't recall which one impressed me. I think it was about American diplomat's life in Africa and his collection of artefacts which was now in a museum or university. Bat sadly recall his name.I did look on https://omeka.org/classic/showcase/ and https://omeka.org/classic/directory/ : you might find something to interest/impress you there.
In the absence of of the American diplomat's African collection, I would probably point to :

@timconsidine maybe this site (I used a screenshot for Omeka app)
I like this https://collections.maison-salins.fr/

@jeau neither the actual one I had in mind, but both are just as good as whatever it was I saw.
I especially like the 2nd one https://collections.maison-salins.fr/
