Hi Mia
A bugbear from an archives perspective is that Europeana is limited to digital archives (assuming this is still the case as I haven’t checked recently). Currently only a small proportion of archives are digitised and unless things change dramatically, this is likely to be the case for the foreseeable future. This seems like a big gap.
I also recall that some/many folks in museums find the EDM restrictive (though again I haven’t looked at this recently)
