Europeana, the European Digital Library, http://www.europeana.eu constitutes a common view of European cultural heritage. The digitised materials of libraries, archives and museums form the key content of Europeana. It is a joint project of the European Union Member States and the European Commission.
The National Digital Library project participates in the development of Europeana. In the future, metadata on Finnish materials will be relayed to Europeana via the national aggregator of National Digital Library.
National digital libraries are being developed in many EU Member States. In the future their materials can also be searched for in Europeana.
There are also other ongoing projects in Europe promoting digitising and the availability of materials and supporting European. For example, Finnish organisations are participating in the Athena, Apenet, BHL-Europe, Europeana Local, Europeana Travel, HOPE, Dismarc and European Film Gateway projects.
