Who we are and what we do
A Pan-European network
A Europe-wide network of national, regional, domain and thematic
aggregators, enabling cultural institutions to share their collections online on
Europeana and open it up to new audiences
Connecting content and people
Aggregators work with cultural institutions and collectors to gather authentic,
trustworthy and robust data and make it accessible to Europeana, education
clouds, research infrastructures, creatives, developers and the general public.
Who we are and what we do
12 pan-European
thematic and domain
aggregators.
25 national and
regional aggregators,
gathering content
from cultural
institutions across
Europe.
Aggregators work
with thousands of
museums, galleries,
libraries, archives,
audiovisual archives,
collectors and
communities.
Aggregators offer
advice and support in
digitisation, content
description, licensing,
media formats
accessibility,
multilingualism and in
domain and subject
vocabularies.
Network Culture partners Expertise
Aggregators are the backbone of content supply to Europeana, connecting and
promoting Europeana to their networks and communities.
Who we are and what we do
Member States and
regional authorities
are the main funders
of national and
regional aggregators.
The domain and
thematic aggregators
are co-funded by their
members and the EU.
Aggregators supply
around 90% of all
content in Europeana.
47+ million items
including digital
images, texts, videos,
sounds and 3D objects
from Europe’s diverse
cultural heritage.
Aggregators are agents
of change, encouraging
investments in new
technologies and
digital skills, and
contributing to
digitization strategies
at national and
European levels.
Finance Content base Impact
Our goals
• Aggregators are catalysts for digital transformation in
cultural institutions.
• Aggregators support thousands of cultural heritage
institutions and their communities to build Digital Europe.
• Aggregators foster digital culture, promote open
standards and encourage the free flow of data across
borders for re-use in applications for education, tourism
and leisure.
What we offer
Aggregators use
standards,
vocabularies and linked
data and promote their
use by cultural
institutions offering
case studies and
translations to ease
their uptake
Aggregators
contribute actively to
the development of
international and
national domain and
subjects standards
Aggregators work
actively to improve
and enrich data and
content, promote
international
recommendations for
best practices in
digital culture and
support to cultural
heritage professionals
Technology Standards Quality
Aggregators provide
tools, services and
infrastructures (data
repositories, cloud
storage, metadata
harvesting, metadata
mapping, enrichment
services, APIs and

Helpdesks are
available for cultural
institutions
What we offer
Aggregators are well
placed to reach out to
institutions,
communities and
enthusiasts to develop
metadata strategies
that connect objects
and collections to
audiences, bridging
generation and
perspective gaps
between cultural
heritage content,
professionals and
Europeana users

Europeana, based on
content provided by
aggregators.
