What is Europeana?
Vision:
We believe in making cultural heritage openly accessible in a digital way, to promote the
exchange of ideas and information. This helps us all to understand our cultural diversity better
and contributes to a thriving knowledge economy.
The Digital Agenda for Europe‘Europe has probably the world's greatest cultural heritage. Digitisation brings culture into people's homes and is a valuable resource for education, tourism, games, animation and the whole creative industry. Investing in digitisation will create new companies and generate new jobs.’
Europeana is Europe’s ‘flagship digitisation project’ and ‘one of Europe’s most amibitious cultural projects, and a successful one. It is a trusted source for our collective memory and a representation of European cultural heritage online.’
Neelie Kroes European Commission Vice-President for the Digital Agenda
