The small exhibition, based on the subject of migration from Europe to the U.S., will serve as the first step in a long-term relationship between the two organizations, gesturing toward what may be possible once an interoperable system has been established. The exhibition is anticipated to launch in December 2012.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of structure, the virtual exhibition will run on the Omeka-powered Europeana Exhibition platform and will look similar to the projects featured in Europeana\u2019s existing <a href=\"http:\/\/exhibitions.europeana.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\">collection of exhibitions<\/a>. Europeana exhibitions are usually divided into a number of themes, with each theme containing a few 150 &#8211; 200 word narratives that place 3 &#8211; 4 objects into their appropriate historical context. The DPLA-Europeana joint exhibition will contain approximately 50 &#8211; 80 objects, 6 themes, and 2 &#8211; 4 200-word narratives contextualizing 9 &#8211; 12 objects in each theme. The exhibition will be extensible, allowing for new features to be added over time.<\/p>\n<p>The National Archives and Records Administration (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.archives.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">NARA<\/a>), <a href=\"http:\/\/ocp.hul.harvard.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Harvard University<\/a>, the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ihrc.umn.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Immigration History Research Center at the University of Minnesota<\/a>, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/digitalgallery.nypl.org\/nypldigital\/index.cfm\" target=\"_blank\">New York Public Library<\/a> have all agreed to contribute materials to the exhibition. The DPLA Secretariat is working closely with each institution to select relevant rights-cleared digitized materials. Europeana will announce their content providers as soon as they have been finalized.<\/p>\n<p>The DPLA and Europeana are in the process of identifying and recruiting a duo of historians to curate the exhibition. The curators will refine the exhibition\u2019s themes and relevant subthemes; define the structure and flow of the exhibition; conduct object research and selection; and write the contextualizing narratives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Work on the joint DPLA-Europeana virtual exhibition continues apace, with a launch anticipated in December 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4454,"featured_media":4109,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[923,2236],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-featured"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dplaalpha\/files\/2012\/05\/6973736128_a93712e9fc_b.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dplaalpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dplaalpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dplaalpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dplaalpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4454"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dplaalpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4438"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dplaalpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4438\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4464,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dplaalpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4438\/revisions\/4464"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dplaalpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dplaalpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dplaalpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.blogs.harvard.edu\/dplaalpha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
