EU finances a pan-European press photo historical archive available for all European citizens
Brussels, 7th November 2011.– The Euro-Photo project is funded by the ICT Policy Support Programme of the European Union, a specific subprogramme of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP).
The project aims to digitise historical pictures from the archives of 10 leading European News Agencies, 150.000 pictures in total, and make them available to Europeana. The project aims at developing a unique pan-European press photo historical archive available and usable by European Citizens through Europeana, a common multilingual access point to Europe"s distributed digital cultural heritage.
At present this content is not available to citizens (except in The Netherlands). It is the first time that this kind of content will be accessible at European level and not at only a national one.
