As an initiative of the European Union, the Europeana Digital Service Infrastructure (DSI) showcases and provides online access to Europe’s cultural and scientific heritage through the Europeana Collections platform and supports cultural heritage institutions as they adapt to this digital age.
The service is provided by a consortium of 23 partners, coordinated by the Europeana Foundation. Here are some significant highlights from the first year of DSI-4 (September 2018 - August 2019).
The audience for Europeana Collections, the European Commission's platform for digital culture, is growing, satisfied and engaged.
The dedicated experts who form the Europeana Network Association (ENA) are integral to our success - the driving force behind Europeana as a movement.
More curated and high-quality content, together with public campaigns such as Europeana Migration and transcribathons, make Europeana Collections relevant and interesting to today’s audiences.
A new bespoke system for processing collections and an accreditation scheme to support aggregators are making it easier and more rewarding to provide digital culture to Europeana.
Discovering inspiring content in Europeana Collections with or without a specific search should be quick and easy. A range of developments over the last year is helping to deliver a better online experience.
It’s easy to search for something on Europeana Collections and see results in your own language. Ongoing developments are helping to make those results richer by including results from other languages too.
2,000 teachers from 45 countries upskill with ‘Europeana in your classroom’ MOOC delivered in three languages.
Early-career scholars harness digital cultural heritage in First World War research projects, thanks to the Europeana Research Grants Programme.
From a touching and novel WW1-inspired video game to a series of YouTube videos on the steam engine, creatives are producing incredible applications and projects using digital cultural content.
