Europeana: European digital library


Want to search across Europe's best libraries and museums?

Europeana; the European digital library is now open for business. This site, constructed under the European Digital Libraries initiative allows you to search across Europe's library, museum, audio and visual archive collections for material as diverse as video footage of Salvador Dali discussing Freud to theatre programmes for the Dundee Shakespeare society's performances from 1902.
Results are displayed by image, text, video and sound holdings and can be limited by language, location, country and date. The site is still in Beta version as the project to add content is on going so searching may be limited at times of peak traffic.
