The European Library

The European Library is going live (see YouTube video below). Financed by the Conference of European National Libraries (CENL), the European Library allows access to the resources of 48 European National Libraries. Its portal is maintained at the Dutch Royal Library in The Hague.

The European Library provided much of the organization and support to launch Europeana, a digital initiative of the European Commission, which makes digital objects from European libraries, museums and archives available to the public on its website.

The European Library is the digital content aggregator for Europeana and delivers digital content monthly from European national libraries.
