Exhibit Section pages

Page Title: use the theme title, followed by a colon, then the turn dates; example: “Family Life: 1780 – 1820”. Or, for new exhibits, use the theme title, followed by a color, then a sub-theme title.

Page content: use an image that represents the content of the Exhibit Section; be sure to include a caption for the image. Also add a link (“View this item in the Online Collection”) to its page in the Online Collection.

After the image, enter the text that introduces the Section – 1 – 2 paragraphs is appropriate.
