Gateway, our new digital collections platform

 

After a year of planning and another year of implementation (including some tech delays), we're happy to announce that Gateway, our new digital collections website is almost ready for prime time!

Gateway uses the Islandora software platform and provides a site that should be easier to use and search, more attractive (especially on mobile devices), and easier to maintain. The migration has also allowed us a rare opportunity to completely re-think our collection organization and to clean up some data (and other) mistakes we've made over the past fifteen years or so.

Gateway will also serve as more of a community-based site, highlighting not just our collections, but those of our community partners, hence the new name.

We're also adding a lot of new collections and items as we launch. More on that later.

We're still fine-tuning a few things, but we'd love it if you could take a few minutes to explore the site and let us know what you think!
