A digital collection of outstanding sources from European national libraries.
Europeana 14-18 is a project funded under the Information and Communication Technologies Policy Support Programme.
Europeana 1914-1918
will create by 2014 – the centenary of the outbreak of the First World
War – a substantial digital collection of material from national library
collections of ten libraries in eight countries that found themselves
on different sides of the historic conflict. In the run-up to 2014 and
in the following years, strong interest in the topic is expected from a
wide variety of users – including the general public, local and family
historians, education professionals, archives, museums and historical
societies, people working in the media, the arts or in the tourism
industry.
