The project transformed kilometres of archives, extensive collections from museums and libraries, and geohistorical datasets into a distributed digital information system. These Big Data of the Past are common resources for the future that will have a huge cultural, economic and societal impact.

The Time Machine project drove Social Sciences and Humanities toward more significant issues, allowing new interpretative models to be built on a superior scale. It brought a considerable amount of sources for the benefit of open science, and it will boost scientific and technological competitiveness and entrepreneurship. 

By the end of the project, the consortium partners came together to create the Time Machine Organisation and ensure the continuance of the work that was started with the Time Machine project.
