[Dspace-general] digital image collections

[Joachim Räth]

Here is another example from Germany, mixing library records and

<http://stadtteilgeschichten.net/browse-date>

We are actually in the process of designing a new - less technical -  
layout using Manakin, but are still in need of some help.

A central source for open DSpace Manakin themes would therefor be  
greatly appreciated.
