The DM2E project, co-funded by the EU, aimed to enhance humanities research through the integration of digitized manuscripts into the Europeana digital library. The project ran from 2012 to 2015 and involved various partners across Europe, focusing on the aggregation and transformation of digital content for scholarly use. Key outcomes included the creation of a scholarly research platform and advancements in digital humanities research and community building.
