Provide narrative information

Build an evolving story around your collections

EMu’s Narratives module allows users to author narrative material and associate it with different components of a collection: objects, sites, people, multimedia resources, events, and so on. Narratives can be developed for specific audiences (primary school children, researchers, the general public for instance) and are suitable for a wide range of purposes, such as exhibition overviews, wall labels, brochures, and web-based stories.

Preserve your digital assets

What our customers say about EMu

There’s a lot of institutional history that’s fragmented among our different curatorial departments and the system provides a context and a milieu in which to reunite that information that’s been orphaned in many cases for over 100 years.
