How about we devote this thread for users to share their public sites using CA? Not so much as a vanity exercise, but a way for us to share experiences and hopefully pick up some new ideas.
I'll start.
https://collections.ajhs.com.au/ - Australian Jewish Historical Society
In the CA spirit, we have a fairly large, heterogeneous collection that document Australian Jewish life. 85,000+ burials, the society's journal, marriages, military service, and more.
As it is rather data-centric, I use DataTables for search results. Updating the Pawtucket theme was pretty straightforward.
An addition I like is using the National Library of Australia's Trove API to link to historic digitised newspaper articles. This is for burials and marriages where there is a fixed date. Example (click "Show Related Newspaper Results")
There are also over 10,000 photos that have facetagging of identified entities. Example . To do this we used software, Tag That Photo that enables export of the subject and coordinate metadata (ExifTool helped). For CA I have an object > entities relationship of the photo and the person and there's an interstitial attribute containing the coordinates. There's also HTML5 canvas that allows for the facetagging overlay
To search across the whole collection, I did some updates to the multisearch results page to make it easier to get a snapshot of all the different object types where a search term may appear. Example
To do in the hopefully near future: Creating entity authority records to explicitly create relationships between object types For example, currently if the same person has a burial and military record, there's nothing linking the two.
In summary, CA's flexible data model and the capability to update the theme is excellent for this project, which probably is somewhat different than other use cases.
Hope others share as well!
