Europeana

Europeana – the European digital library, museum and archive – is a 2-year project that began in July 2007. It will produce a prototype website giving users direct access to some 2 million digital objects, including film material, photos, paintings, sounds, maps, manuscripts, books, newspapers and archival papers. The prototype has been launched in November 2008. Europeana may be a benchmark for efforts to put cultural objects in digital form and make them available to the public.

Unfortunately, the website is not handling its massive demand on opening operation.
