Judaica Europeana will work with European cultural institutions to identify content documenting the Jewish contribution to the cities of Europe.
It will digitise 10,500 photos, 1,500 postcards and 7,150 recordings as well as several million pages from books, newspapers, archives and press clippings. The digitised content will be available at Europeana.eu.
Judaica Europeana is funded by the European Commission under the eContentplus programme, as part of the i2010 policy.
Judaica Europeana is one of a series of initiatives supported by the European Commission’s eContentplus programme that harvest and aggregate content for EUROPEANA, the European digital library. Europeana draws on rich content from libraries, archives and museums. A prototype can be accessed on www.europeana.eu. A fully operational version will become available later in 2010.

Judaica Europeana's main challenge is to facilitate access to a critical quantity of European Jewish cultural heritage at the level of the cultural object. The project will aggregate other digital collections to reach a comprehensive coverage of Jewish life in European cities. It will also reach out to university teachers and students, schools, heritage professionals, tourists and the general public – anyone interested in the history of European cities or Jewish culture.
