Dear Colleague,
I am pleased to tell you the Europeana portal has been updated and improved as Europeana Collections. The site has proved to be stable and we will move out of the beta phase in a few weeks’ time. We have received very positive feedback since its initial launch in December and we are now promoting its benefits more widely. We would like you to join us and promote the site via your networks.
You can experience Europeana Collections for yourself with our quick demo - and using the on-screen options to share it on social media, with the #AllezCulture hashtag, will help celebrate the rich European culture it contains.
Improved search and filters, including innovative colour searches (try this one for ‘Dark slate blue’) and quality searches (find our very best maps of Paris), mean finding what you’re looking for is simple. Better, bigger previews, a zoom function for high resolution images and documents (get really close up to this Monet), direct play for video (try this silent film) and audio (listen to this Maria Callas aria) and a new download option mean less time clicking and more time engrossed in cultural content. Clear copyright information shows you what you can and can’t do with the treasures you find.
All together, this means trustworthy and relevant content to use, to learn, to share or to contribute to research.
We expect that this new look and feel will benefit our partners in the cultural sector, providing their collections with international visibility and greater context so that visitors can share in the bigger picture of European culture.
As ever, Europeana Collections is a continual work in progress and there are further developments in the pipeline, we’ll keep you informed.
I would like to thank you for your continued support of Europeana as an MSEG representative and hope that you enjoy Europeana Collections.
Best regards,
Jill Cousins

Dear Colleague,
I am pleased to tell you the Europeana portal has been updated and
improved as Europeana Collections. The site has proved to be stable and we
will move out of the beta phase in a few weeks' time. We have received
very positive feedback since its initial launch in December and we are now
promoting its benefits more widely. We would like you to join us and
promote the site via your networks.
You can experience Europeana Collections for yourself with our quick
