Publish your collection with Coeli's WordPress plugin

If you are a cultural institution looking to disseminate your institution’s heritage, we have a technological solution for you: our WordPress plugin for publishing your collections online. With this tool, you can share your collections with all audiences easily and accessibly from any device.

In this blog, we explain what our WordPress plugin is and its benefits. We also provide three success stories as examples of how institutions use it to disseminate their collections.

Coeli’s WordPress plugin for the online publication of heritage collections is a tool that integrates into the WordPress CMS to improve your online presence, making it easy and accessible for everyone to publish your heritage collections. In this way, visitors to your museum, gallery, or archive website can explore collections interactively and discover the stories behind the exhibited pieces.

Thanks to Coeli’s plugin, cultural institutions can publish their collections online within the same WordPress website in a very simple way, allowing access to a wider and more diverse audience. It helps you to disseminate culture and heritage more effectively, allowing everyone to access the content of your institution.

Coeli’s plugin offers a wide variety of tools and options to customize the publication of museums’ heritage collections. Depending on your needs, you can configure which fields you want to appear in the listings, in the item pages, and in the search engine of your website. It also supports previewing the same formats available at Coeli’s back office: the most standard image formats (JPG, PNG, etc.), audio, videos, and PDFs.

One of the great advantages of having the WordPress plugin for publishing your collections is the guarantee that the presented information is always up to date. The plugin connects directly to Coeli’s database: this means that you will save time because any changes in the database will be immediately reflected on your website, such as the addition of new collections or the updating of any data.

We help you create narratives for your users: design separate lists for each of your collections, group them according to your narrative, or display them all at once. In addition, the Coeli plugin features functionalities to enable user discovery such as dynamic and visual filters, free-text search, which allows searching for text in the entire record, or advanced search to perform specific searches according to the field.

The plugin has a default display for easy implementation, but the institution’s web technicians can fully customize the look and feel of the online collection. Using PHP, CSS, and HTML, they can change the design, structure, and incorporate elements such as timelines, maps, and much more. This allows museums to tailor their online presentation to their specific needs and unique style.

Below are three examples of websites where the Coeli plugin for WordPress has been used to publish heritage collections: the Museum Pau Casals, the CATICAT and Arxiu Lliure. Each example demonstrates how the Coeli WordPress plugin can be customized to meet the needs of each organization.
