Europeana: European culture
Europeana is a European Commission funded portal which was launched in 2008 and is currently working to build a virtual European library offering free access to Europe's cultural resources. It includes millions of texts (manuscripts, papers, ebooks), images (photographs, maps), films (moving images, videos, film clips, television broadcasts) and sounds from Europe's main research libraries, archives and galleries. Organisations currently include the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the British Library in London and the Louvre in Paris. It is possible to search the site by subject keyword, or browse by date, language and theme. A wide range of topics relevant to the social sciences are covered including elections (historic coverage), anthropology, social history, cultural events. Copyright and technical information is displayed on the website. Intute.ac.uk
