# Collections

Collections are groups of Omeka items. Collections may be used in a variety of contexts that make the most sense for your archive.
Collections are groups of Omeka items. Collections are a flexible means of organizing and presenting Omeka items, and may be used in a variety of contexts that make the most sense for your objects.

In Omeka Classic, an item can only belong to one collection. Collections can, of course, have multiple items. The concept of Omeka collections originates from museum and archives collections; one cannot put a document into more than one box. It is not necessary to follow a traditional interpretation of a collection, say by owner or donor.

Collections have no hierarchy, unless you install the [Collection Tree plugin](../Plugins/CollectionTree.md) in order to have a nested collections. Items in collections have no set order, unless you install the [Item Order plugin](../Plugins/ItemOrder.md) and rearrange your items.
