Media Formats/Mime Types

Europeana provides a list of the mime types of media resources included in Europeana’s manifests.

A MIME type (also known as a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) is a standard that indicates the format of a file. It is a fundamental characteristic of a digital resource that influences its ability to be accessed and used over time.

The list of mime types of media resources included in Europeana’s manifests has moved to the Europeana Knowledge Base - please check there for the most up-to-date information!
