Review of Europeana

Resource of the Week: Europeana, By Adrian Janes, UK Contributing Editor, ResourceShelf (Apr 20)

"Europeana is an ambitious collaborative project between European archives, libraries and museums. First launched in November 2008, the initial interest was so great that it overwhelmed the site. The current version is described as a prototype, with the full-scale launch now expected in 2010. But even at this stage, it is a most interesting resource, claiming currently to provide access to four million digital items but anticipating this to have grown to 10 million by next year."
