CERL aggregates and maintains library and research data that is trustworthy, reliable, accessible and standardised, to make it available for use in new ways and contexts.
Academics and researchers thus gain access to Europe’s cultural heritage in rich and diverse bibliographic contexts, including digital collections, thesauri, provenance information, and descriptions of the materiality of items.
CERL aims to make research data available for consultation and re-use in a sustainable and freely accessible environment. Joined together in the CERL environment and beyond, the distributed European heritage collections and the rich and different resources of our members contribute to documenting an interconnected cultural space, which thus gains greater visibility and emphasis.
Apart from the Heritage of the Printed Book and the Provenance Digital Archive, all databases listed on the Databases at CERL page on this website are part of the AMPLE environment.
