Aggregators work with cultural heritage institutions to gather authentic, trustworthy and robust data and make it accessible through Europeana. All Europeana aggregators are members of the Europeana Aggregators' Forum (EAF), a network of national, regional, domain and thematic aggregators who - among others - work to exchange the knowledge and best practice that supports aggregation and data sharing with Europeana.
Join this event - organised by the Europeana Aggregators' Forum - to discover the role of aggregators and cultural heritage institutions in publishing data through Europeana’s infrastructure and in the common European data space for cultural heritage.
Domain and thematic aggregators define their scope by cultural sector (such as museum, archive or library) or by topic and theme (such as fashion). They work with contributors based in different European countries.
National and regional aggregators define their scope by specific country or region. They work with contributors situated within that country or region.
