DRI is the Irish partner in Europeana’s Common Culture Project

Europeana is a digital platform that allows European institutions to reach a wider audience by sharing their social and cultural heritage online. It aims to democratise culture by allowing content to be used and reused for enjoyment, research and education. Irish content on Europeana can also be viewed and shared through inclusion in Europeana’s blogs, galleries and exhibitions.

DRI is the Irish partner in Europeana’s Common Culture Project, which aims to improve the quality of up to four million records that have been provided by national aggregators to the Europeana platform. The project started on 1 January 2019 and will run until 30 June 2020. In the coming months DRI will be working with our members to identify suitable collections to contribute to Europeana.
