My experience with creating an exhibit in Omeka has been surprisingly easy. I started with the simple page in which I will describe what the exhibit entails with a few images of the frost fairs. I then created my first page which will be Climate and within this I will describe how these frost fairs were able to happen with the Thames river freezing over. My next page is Mercantalism, this page will consist of the problems that occured when the Thames froze over which inevitably led to the frost fairs. My third section is about Festivities that occured during the frost fairs such as food, drink, games, and entertainment. My fourth section, Cultural significance, will explain why these frost fairs were important to both the nobility and the normal citizens alike. I have yet to input all of the information but I am excited that everything is starting to come together.
