ABOUT ECLAP PROJECT:
Performing Arts are one of the great pillars of European culture. Their development has facilitated the birth of national literary traditions and spurned the evolution of languages and traditions in all member states. There is a rich heritage of film collections, video and audio tapes, images, sketches, notes in the field of performing arts, many of which are scattered about various archives in Europe, forming an invaluable, but hitherto largely untapped, repository of knowledge.
The ECLAP Project is a best practice network co-funded through the ICT Policy Support Programme of the European Commission. ECLAP’s goal is to enable access to these resources, made available in digital form in an integrated online environment, providing guidelines and using metadata standards for searching and browsing. In its creation of a seamless and centralized online database, ECLAP is providing access to the performing arts collections and archives of the ECLAP project partners, which includes leading institutions in this area. These resources will be progressively accessible through a common, multilingual, easy-to-use ECLAP e-Library for the Performing Arts. The ECLAP e-Library will become part of Europeana, the multi-lingual online collection of millions of digitized items from European museums, libraries, archives and multi-media collections.
