Create a record containing multiple points, lines, or polygons
To create a point, line, or polygon associated with a record, open the record and select the "map" tab. Let's say you want to create 3 points for a single record (marking cities on your map, for example). Select "draw point" and click on the locations you want to highlight. Save. Note #1: all of the points, lines, or polygons within a record will have the same "style" setting. Note #2: If you want to delete a point, scroll down to the "Geometry" box, select and delete the coordinates.
You will most likely want to add an image to the "body" of the record. First, activate the html editing mode: The html editing box will open. Place your cursor where you would like the image to appear, and click on the image icon: Plug in the URL of your image. I recommend deleting the width and height dimensions: leaving those fields blank will tell Neatline to display the image within the normal record window. Click "OK". Then click on the "minimize" button: Save.
Your Neatine work, just like any historical essay, must come equipped with proper citations. If you quote from, make explicit reference to, or draw ideas from a source, create a hyperlink to the Zotero item within the Neatline record itself. How? Open the record. In the "body", insert a parenthetical reference to the source (O'Neill, 203). Next to the "Body" heading click on "edit html". This will open the html editor mode. Select the citation text (everything inside the parentheses). Now open our group library - the web version. Find the citation you need, and click on it. Copy the URL. Go back to Neatline and click on the chain link icon in the tool bar at the top of the html editor box. Paste the URL. If you click on the "Target" tab you can control whether your link shows up as a popup window, etc. Click on the "minimize" button (it has four arrows pointing outward). Save your edits.
Open the Zotero app/standalone. If you followed the directions for the deep map exercise, you will have already placed all of your citations in a folder in the group library. From there, the process is very easy: Select all of the items in the folder. Right-click (or equivalent) and select "Create bibliography". Set the citation style: select Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition Output mode: bibliography Output method: copy to clipboard Go to the Omeka dashboard, and select "Items". Create new Item. Set the Item Type to "text". The Item title should read "Bibliography: [insert name of your project]". Toggle on the html editor for the "description" field. Paste your bibliography into the description box. Proper formatting will carry over, but you will need to create a single space between each citation (purely to make it legible). "Add new item".
Create the "blurb" for your Neatline exhibit
In the language of Omeka/Neatline, the more formal term for a "blurb" is a narrative, or description. To add one to your exhibit: Select Neatline from the main dashboard Find the listing for your exhibit and click on "exhibit settings" Enter your text in the "Narrative" box. Scroll down to the bottom and save your work. That's is! You can, of course, using the editing tools, embed images, links, and other content and really make your narrative into something more than just a text. Whatever you decide, when a viewer chooses the fullscreen version of your Neatline exhibit the narrative will appear in a box in the upper left of the display.
Containing water elements such as rivers, lakes and coastlines, this layer is important because it represents en element of transporting of goods, travel, and resources. As a Dutch copy, this map could have provided information on access points for settlement.
