Abstract
Infrastructure Pitch at the DARIAH-CH Study Day 2023 by Dr. sc. Moritz Mähr (Digital Lead) about CollectionBuilder and its use case in the project Stadt.Geschichte.Basel.
The Problem with Public History: Even if you want to share your digital story and your data, as a researcher you typically don’t have the money to use a paid service, the infrastructure for a self-hosted open source solution like Omeka, and the time or technical skills to code it yourself. The Solution: With CollectionBuilder, you can host digital collections, exhibits, and stories, by yourself (with very little technical skill), sustainable (open source, long time archivable), and free of charge. It has an extensive documentation and a very supportive open source community.
