PRESS RELEASE
Commission unveils plans for European digital libraries (30 September
2005)The European Commission unveiled on 30 September its strategy to
make Europe's written and audiovisual heritage available on the
Internet. Turning Europe's historic and cultural heritage into digital
content will make it usable for European citizens for their studies,
work or leisure and will give innovators, artists and entrepreneurs the
raw material that they need. The Commission proposes a concerted drive
by EU Member States to digitise, preserve, and make this heritage
available to all. It presents a first set of actions at European level
and invites comments on a series of issues in an online consultation
(deadline for replies 20 January 2006). The replies will feed into a
proposal for a Recommendation on digitisation and digital preservation,
to be presented in June 2006.
