BYZART - Byzantine Art and Archaeology on Europeana

Connecting Europe Facility – Europeana – Generic Services

Abstract
The "BYZART - Byzantine Art and Archaeology on Europeana" action aims at making about 75.000 cultural and artistic multimedia contents accessible online through the Europeana platform (Europeana). The contents that will be made available to Europeana include collections of digitized photos, video and audio contents about Byzantine history and culture, one of the milestones of European cultural heritage. The digital objects will be available at the best possible quality and according to the Europeana Right Statements (ERS). Moreover, the action will enhance Europeana accessibility and visibility, by rationalising and classifying the items already uploaded on the platform. By the end of the action, the number of the digital items related to Byzantine art and archaeology on Byzart platform will reach about 115.500.
