Hi Emily, Have you looked at OHMS? http://www.oralhistoryonline.org/ It is made for digital oral histories. It is very easy for audio, and for video it is geared towards YouTube, and that kind of thing. However, they are currently working on a fix that will allow non YouTube sites (you need good streaming to allow for jumping around the video). They are also working on a bilingual add on as well. This player can be easily put into any existing site, whether Omeka or WordPress, etc. Cheers Lisa Lisa Snider Archivist | Archiviste Canadian Museum for Human Rights | Musée canadien pour les droits de la personne On Mon, Jan 12, 2015 at 3:51 PM, Brassell, Emily <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I’m wondering if anyone has used or developed a Wordpress plugin for > digital exhibits?
