Europeana Libraries

The Europeana Libraries project brought together the digital collections of 19 leading European research libraries, making over 5 million items freely available online, including films, images, texts, theses and letters. The project provided full-text indexing, high-quality metadata, and tools such as timelines and maps to support research and discovery, while creating a robust network of national, university and research libraries across Europe.

CERL contributed to business planning, coordination of technical work packages, and communication and dissemination, helping ensure the project’s success in making Europe’s cultural heritage accessible to scholars and the wider public.
