Edit collection information

For best practices and recommended specifications, see our Guidelines for Customizing Your Landing Page.

  1. Choose a name for your collection (required)
    • Create a name that is descriptive and specific as possible. While there is no character limit, the ideal length is 80 characters or less.
    • Can be edited at any time and updated within seconds.
  2. Write a description
    • Add a description of the collection in 50 words or less and describe your organization in 50 words or less.
    • Help researchers understand what’s in the collection. Be concise and clear; write in short sentences and short, scannable blocks. Keep the most important text up front, and focus on one idea per paragraph.
  3. Upload a representative hero image to represent the collection
    • 560 by 400 pixel or larger PNG, JPG, or GIF
    • Add a caption including the creator, title, date, media, institution, and copyright.
  4. Set the maximum download size for image items in the collection or disable downloads for all items. Options include:
    • No Downloads - Prevent item downloads for all items in the collection, regardless of content type.
    • 400 pixels (JPEG)
    • 1024 pixels (JPEG)
    • 3000 pixels (JPEG)
    • Maximum download size (JPEG) - For image items, the size (in pixels) of the original uploaded image file. Note that the downloaded file format and compression may differ from the original.

Choosing a URL for your collection

  • When you choose a custom URL for your Collection, note that this URL is permanent and cannot be edited later.
  • Hyphens between words make your collection easier for researchers to find in their search.
  • Aa-Zz, 0-9, hyphens "-", and underscores "_" are all accepted characters.
