• Build on success of Best Practice Networks CARARE and Europeana Local (30% of content in Europeana) – 4 million resources + new items;
• Support small & medium institutions to make metadata and content available to Europeana;
• Bring together local history and heritage resources which are currently unevenly represented in Europeana;
• More coherent views of content relating to a given locality.
Main goals of LoCloud
![Page 5: Local content in a Europeana cloud for small & medium content providers](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54985ac6ac7959482e8b5510/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• 32 institutions from 26 countries: coordinated by Riksarkivet (National Archives of Norway), NO.
• Strong group of technical partners, already contributors to development of Europeana.
• National and regional aggregation services or content providers acting as pilot implementers of the cloud services; coordinate & disseminate at national level.
• Partners with specific expertise in key aspects such as vocabularies & impact assessment.
• Started: 1st March 2013, ending: 1st March 2016.
• Co-funded by the European Commission (CIP ICT-PSP programme); budget: 4,25 Mio € for 36 months
