Europeana will launch in November 2008, bringing us digitized books, films, paintings, newspapers, sounds and archives from Europe’s greatest collections.
Will it be a new
Quaero or is it for real?
Let's hope for the best, wait and see.
Quote:
Europeana – the European digital library, museum and archive – is a 2-year project that began in July 2007. It will produce a prototype website giving users direct access to some 2 million digital objects, including film material, photos, paintings, sounds, maps, manuscripts, books, newspapers and archival papers. The prototype will be launched in November 2008 by Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for Information Society and Media.
