Europe
• Never before has cultural heritage been dealt
with so prominently in an EU-treaty as in the
Lisbon Treaty .
• For the European Union the preservation of
cultural heritage is of high importance.
Therefore, the European Commission actively
promotes these principles within the framework
for cooperation on culture policy and
implementation of different concrete actions.

• European libraries, archives and museums contain a wealth of information, representing the richness of Europe’s history, its cultural diversity and its scientific achievements.

• Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) - Access to digital resources of European heritage
• The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) is one of the key initiatives proposed by the Commission in the context of its package for delivering sustainable growth and jobs, directly related to the Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth.
• Funding for digital services aims to help building infrastructure needed to roll out e-ID, eProcurement, electronic health care records, Europeana, eJustice and customs-related services. It also wants to ensure interoperability and meet the costs of running the infrastructure at European level, linking up Member States' infrastructures.
• CEF will fund the continuous coordination, operation, maintenance, enhancement and promotion of the central services of the Europeana portal and infrastructure and related networks including.
• CEF will fund also generic services, like the aggregation of content held by cultural institutions and private content holders in the Member States; crowd-sourcing facilities encouraging interactivity; user-friendly services for the portal as well as cross-language access.

• Germany– E-Government-law
– German Nation Library law
– Archive law
– Due to the political system in Germany there is no overall master plan to the digitisation of Germany’s cultural heritage so far
– Culture is in the responsibility of the Länders
– However, several initiatives to coordinate digitisationprojects on the federal state level, on the level of the Länder and/or federal level do exist:
Monika Hagedorn-Saupe, IfM
• Best practise:
• Servicestelle Digitalisierung Berlin (http://www.servicestelledigitalisierung.de )
• Koordinierungsstelle brandenburg-digital (http://www.servicestelledigitalisierung.de )
• German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft : www.dfg.de ).
• Digital Library (DDB), http://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de
