Abstract

Developing engaging online exhibits can be a time-consuming and tedious process, especially if designed in house and “from scratch.” Aiming to design a series of online exhibits to highlight significant moments in the history of the Medical University of South Carolina for its 2024 Bicentennial, the staff of the Waring Historical Library discovered the challenges of meeting this goal while managing the competing interests of stakeholders and while working under ever-changing timelines. In this session, Tabitha Samuel and Anna Schuldt will discuss the lessons learned from challenges they encountered in designing the first of the exhibit series, ‘“Men of Unsullied Reputation:’ The Founders of the Medical College,” the saving grace of the DCX exhibit web application, and the tricks they used to customize the user interface of DCX while maximizing the efficiency of the system.

Description

Presented at the 2023 South Carolina Archival Association (SCAA) Annual Meeting in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
