About the Collection

This site is generated using CollectionBuilder-GH, a project to create a free and simple digital collection using GitHub Pages from:

• a CSV of collection metadata
• a folder of JPG images or PDF documents

The template repository features four objects from the University of Idaho Library’s Digital Collections.

About the About Page

We want to make About pages exciting, and easy to build.

The CollectionBuilder about page features a narrowed column with its own (optional) menu, featured content, and some technical information.

To build one, a user writes in Markdown and includes content from the site, as well as typical Bootstrap features like cards and modals, using code snippets like those detailed below. We hope this makes it easier for site builders to develop the collection AND add interesting and engaging contextual information.

(Each included file has several options, which are documented in the files themselves. I’ve given the content widths of 25% and 50% to save space, but you can feature the entire image or document.)
