This website was developed for D.C. public schools history teachers to share resources and lesson plans using the concept of “place” as a focus for teaching local history. Unlike the typical Omeka site, this site’s home page is exclusively photo based. The animated images use only css3 for their effects.

Vernon hired CHNM to develop a website that would bring Martha’s world to life through words and pictures in a way that would appeal to historians and teachers, history buffs, and the general public. The site uses Omeka to allow content providers to add new material, and for visitors to make notes and annotate content. See Case Study for details.

The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers hired CHNM to develop a website that told the story of Eleanor Roosevelt’s many roles and her enduring legacy. The client wanted a classical look and feel, and home and splash pages that put videos and slideshows front and center. The site has been ported into Omeka, an open-source CMS developed by CHNM, and is awaiting funding for the client to add content.

The home page can be viewed here. However, since this site is in development, there are no live links.

CHNM, teaming with several other external collaborators, is developing a multi-platform project on romance in popular culture, including a website. The goals: a look that combined scholarship and sassiness, that could appeal both to an academic and public audience, and that was sufficiently modular to include many different types of content, integrate with a content management system, and encourage social networking and community.
