EUROPEANAlocal aims to improve the interoperability of the digital content held by regional and local institutions and make it accessible through Europeana and to other services. There is a pressing need to involve Europe's network of local and regional museums and archives, as well as libraries, more extensively in making the enormous amount of digital content that they hold available through Europeana.

EUROPEANAlocal represents 27 countries states with broad ranging experience of the cultural sector, digital libraries, standards and aggregation services. EUROPEANAlocal will make over 20 million items available to Europeana.
