EuropeanaLocal ensured that the approaches, standards and tools developed by Europeana were adopted widely across the cultural heritage sector, thereby supporting the interoperability of content within Europeana beyond that which is held by purely national level institutions.
EuropeanaLocal was funded under the European Commission's eContentPlus Programme and co-ordinated by MDR Partners from the UK. The project consortium consisted of 32 partners from 27 countries across Europe.
