Center for Public History and Digital Humanities

[7] The Curatescape framework is built on Omeka, an open source archival Content Management System developed by the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University.

The project continued under an NEH Digital Humanities Advancement Grant awarded in 2017, which resulted in the release of Curatescape for WordPress and additional content on MaCleKi.

[12] In 2020, the Center began developing PlacePress,[13] a WordPress plugin for publishing location-based tours and stories with a National Endowment for the Humanities grant.

The plugin features custom post types for locations and tours, a global map block, and maximum flexibility for administrative users.

[14] To date, the Center has collected more than 1,160 oral history interviews, including Northeast Ohioans who range in notoriety from regular citizens to renowned artists, architects, and political figures.

Particular strengths within the collection include architecture, consumerism, environment, gardens, industry, leisure, music, neighborhoods, parks, politics, race and ethnicity, religion, social activism, suburbs, and urban planning.
