Are you in contact with the CHNM at George Mason? They created Zotero and Omeka and can probably help you find a developer for this project.
I’ve duly tweeted it, and people are retweeting it, so you should get someone soon. I also forwarded it to a couple people I know personally who might be looking for work.
Thanks Julie!
