Europe’s Online Library Set To Launch
A new online library is being launched in Europe consisting of millions of books. The free multimedia site called Europeana has already received books from thousands of cultural organizations including the British Library in London.
Users of the site will be able to access over 2 million books as well as maps, paintings, films and much more.
The project was created by the European Commission and is run by the European Digital Library Foundation. The site is set to launch as early as 2010.
Along with books the British Library has also donated audio recordings and images to the project. Some of the items include such masterpieces as the Gutenberg Bible.
The library will contain a collection of recordings covering British accents and dialects. It will also hold British wildlife and other items of historical relevance.
The head of the European and American Collections, Stephen Bury, stated that Europeana gives users the ability to access Europe’s vast history. They can view images, hear audio and learn about the past and present.
Many rare and extremely valuable books have been contributed to the Europeana. The Louvre in Paris has given the site paintings and their collections. The site is a great accomplishment and will allow the public to access Europe’s history with the click of a button.
