To create an exhibition, the general workflow steps are:

1. Create a new Item Set

2. Create Items that are assigned to the Item Set

3. Create a new Site

4. Create a Page in the Site

5. Add Blocks to the Page that include Items you created

Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have completed your exhibition. Then,

6. Create a banner for the header image

7. Publish the exhibition by changing all Media, Items, Item Sets, and the Site from “Private” to “Public”

As a curator, you will create and use copyrighted material for the exhibition. It is important to think about how you plan to use third party materials. Is the work in the public domain, do you have or need permission to reuse, or does a statutory exemption to US copyright law, like Fair Use, apply to your uses? The resources below can help guide your decision-making.
