Europeana is a repository for thousands of digitised resources from some of Europe’s premier research institutions. Over 1500 institutions have contributed source material and high resolution versions of many items can be downloaded and viewed on the site.

You can also create your own account to save searches, tags and items relevant to your research and contribute to their online community via Twitter and Facebook.

The Europeana blog, curated by a team of researchers, includes information about interesting, hard to find themes running through Europeana’s collections, including recent posts on famous Venetians, Italian painter Caravaggio and art of the First World War.
