Abstract

Photoconsortium is an association of photographic archives that contributed over 450.000 images of early photography to Europeana. In this contribution we discuss lessons learned, in particular on digitization and copyright issues and describe the activities involved in managing state-of-the-art digitized photographic archives. We discuss follow-on project activities such as Europeana Space, which focuses on creative reuse of digitized cultural heritage and the Europeana thematic photography channel.
