EUscreen is a new project that will supply TV archive footage to Europeana, the European digital library, museum, and archive. The EUscreen project website, www.euscreen.eu goes live today. The website contains a blog, information about the project and the partners, publications and events. Visitors can also subscribe to the EUscreen mailing list or follow the project on Twitter or Facebook.
EUscreen is a three-year project funded by the eContentplus programme of the European Commission. During that time over 30,000 items that capture
Europe’s television heritage (videos, photographs, articles) will be channelled into Europeana. EUscreen will also develop its own multilingual portal that will specialise in information about TV archives and television research.
The portal will be launched in 2011 and will be directly connected to Europeana. The EUscreen consortium is coordinated by the University of
Utrecht and consists of 27 partners (audiovisual archives, research institutions, technology providers and Europeana) from 19 European countries.
