Europeana Digital Library. European Cultural Heritage
THIS VIDEO ORIGINATED FROM THE EUROPA AUDIO/VISUAL SERVICE WEBSITE
The European Commission’s audiovisual service is producing an infoclip to illustrate the “Europeana” digital library which will be launched by José Manuel Barroso, President of the EC, and Viviane REDING, Member of the EC in charge of Information Society and Media, in Brussels on 20/11/2008.
In answer to the growing interest in large digital projects, the Europeana digital library will allow access, via a unique portal, to on-line important cultural heritage. It is the first initiative which concentrates on providing multilingual access to European cultural heritage in the form of digitalised books, manuscripts, films, paintings, photographs and other miscellaneous objects.
The Beeld and Geluid TV Archive, the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam and the French National Library have all contributed to the Europeana project.
Images of semi-automatic, automatic and mass digitalization of books as well as the two first shots at the French National Library (BnF) were kindly offered by Téléparis. For further information on the digitalization process at BnF, please refer to
