AboutEuropeanaTravel is a Targeted Project for cultural content within the area of 'Digital Libraries' of the eContentplus Programme. It is supported by the EDL Foundation and by two of its founder members: CENL (The Conference of European National Librarians) and LIBER (Association of European Research Libraries). The project's main goal is to digitise a substantial number of resources from major university libraries and national libraries of Europe to make them available via Europeana. The materials to digitise will include books, maps, manuscripts, photos, film negatives, postcards and other types of objects related to the theme of travel and tourism, one of the priorities content themes identified by Europeana. A secondary objective is to further strengthen collaboration between CENL and LIBER, aimed at increasing human interoperability in support of Europeana. In addition to that, the project will deliver an ‘aggregation service’, that is to say, a tool which will enable LIBER member institutions to aggregate their materials in order to be included into the Europeana portal. The service will be developed in a scalable way to enable any research library to use it. EuropeanaTravel is co-ordinated by the National Library of Estonia and it will run for two years. |
