Federated search across seven content types

One search field reaches exhibits, events, stories, collections, threads, programs, and shop products in a single index. Threads — named editorial throughlines that bind the institution — are the way visitors arrive at the rest.

Open search · Mill Creek thread

Mill Creek — the cross-property editorial layer

One archive, three buildings, named editorial throughlines binding them. The Mill Creek thread cites a Museum exhibition, a Library photographic collection, an AAHI collecting initiative, a walking tour, and a Juneteenth roundtable — on one URL.

Collections, federated from utils.mohistory.org

Maps, manuscripts, periodicals, photographs, and the papers of a city — federated from 200,000 records at utils.mohistory.org. Every fixture in this wireframe carries its real permalink back to the source record.

Sample record · Sibley correspondence, 1843 Free Negro Bond

Museum Shop, federated from Shopify

Twenty real products harvested from the Museum Shop's public Shopify storefront — Gateway Magazine, Bissinger's, the AAHI book — render as a native section of the site rather than a link-out.

Ask the assistant — with real citations

Press the chat icon in the bottom-right and ask 'Tell me about Mill Creek.' The assistant answers with numbered citations that link to real wireframe URLs — threads, records, programs — so every claim is verifiable from the conversation.

Accessibility, named and accounted for

Skip links, visible focus rings, AA contrast, reduced-motion baselines, semantic landmarks, and accessibility badges on every event. The commitments are enumerated on one page so the committee can audit them in one read.

Integration slots — every third-party seam, named

Every place the wireframe meets a production system — CRM, donations, ticketing, email, collections, search — is marked with a bracketed slot. Real vendor shortlists are named so the committee can read the production wiring at a glance.

Property switcher — one Society, three buildings

The utility-bar chips orient every visitor to which property they're on and let them cross over without losing context. The Society lives at the root; the Museum, Memorial, and Library each have their own voice underneath.
