The Europeana Libraries project is working to make 5 million digital objects from 19 leading European research libraries freely accessible on The European Library and Europeana websites.
Spanish civil war photographs, Ottoman manuscripts, historic medical films and thousands of theses, journals and academic articles are among the digital resources that Europeana Libraries is working with. When the Project finishes at the end of 2012, it will have created:
- A valuable resource for scholars, with full-text search capabilities for written works
- A robust network of national, university and research libraries
- An efficient aggregation model that can be used by research libraries across Europe
Europeana Libraries Featured In Serbian Magazine

In the article, Adam Sofronijević of the University of Belgrade (a Europeana Libraries' partner) explains the importance of digitising cultural and scientific heritage, especially for a country like Serbia.
The article (in English and Serbian) can be downloaded in PDF format or read online.
