There are many ways to curate content that you or others have created in PECE. The most basic level, you can create what we call an "artifact bundle." This bundle enables you to group a set of artifacts (image, audio, pdf, video, etc.) together so that they can be stored, shared, and annotated as a group.

At a slightly more involved level, you can also create different kinds of "essays," such as a Photo Essay, Timeline Essay, or a PECE Essay. These three essay types are designed to enable different ways of curating and publishing your artifacts to help users create a coherent narrative, an argument, or a visually interesting display.
