NYHEDER

The data space for cultural heritage comprises cutting-edge infrastructure, a vibrant community and a suite of products, frameworks and tools which facilitate the open and trustworthy sharing of heritage data across Europe. A new webpage - launched by the Europeana Initiative and its partners - offers an overview of these resources and activities.

The EU-funded DE-BIAS project (Jan 2022 - Dec 2024) aims to detect and contextualize harmful language in cultural heritage collections aggregated in Europeana.eu. It also supports cultural heritage professionals in addressing bias in their collections. Partners in the project include the European Film Gateway and similar platforms that provide data from archives to Europeana.

Audiovisual cultural heritage collections hold huge potential for education, and a new guide from the Erasmus+ project Watching Videos Like a Historian offers practical information, step-by-step guidance and examples which institutions can use to turn their materials into resources for educational reuse.

The EU-funded ViCTOR-E project, in which the European Film Gateway was a partner, has developed e-learning exercises to explore post-WWII Europe through film, offering a unique and engaging collection of multilingual activities for school and other learning contexts.

On July 5, 2023 DFF - Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum and The European Film Gateway gave an overview of how the free open source tool OpenRefine can be used for data enrichment and transformation. The resources and recordings of the webinar are now available online.
