EuropeanaLocal is a European Commission-funded project involving 32 cultural heritage institutions across Europe to aggregate their digital collections. The project aims to support the development of national and regional aggregators to provide content to Europeana. It is promoting standards, infrastructure development, and further digitization. For the initial Rhine release, EuropeanaLocal partners contributed approximately 4 million items, making it the main content provider. The project plans to harvest 10 million items by 2011 from 27 fully operational repositories and 100 new content providers.
