It is part funded by the European Commission via DGXIII, the directorate responsible for telecommunications and the information market. The project is one of 20 selected from a total of over 140 applicants under the INFO2000 programme call for initiatives to exploit Europe's public sector information. The EVA project is a European Strategic project involving both private and public sectors to stimulate the use of multimedia information content by exploiting resources in public archives. The principal aim is to enhance access to European Heritage through digital preservation of archival collections. In the case of EVA this means photographs from 1900 to the present being digitised and displayed on the World Wide Web. The universal nature of the photograph makes an ideal subject for an international project. The dream would be for a researcher interested in a particular subject and time span to have ready access via the internet to images held in many different archives across Europe. Thus someone researching docklands pre-1914 could locate images in Antwerp and London and compare installations regardless of language or national barriers. The initial stage of the project is to establish a large enough digital databank of photographs from the archives of two major cities, London and Antwerp to examine the best methods of digitisation, levels of description and presentation on a website. A total of 20,000 photograph images will be available to researchers with the aim of extending this to other European public archives who will be able to benefit from the EVA project studies on description standards, image quality, metadata, copyright and pricing policies. At the end of the project a working model will be developed so that all European public archives will be able to use the system. The model will have solutions to language barriers, use appropriate search and navigation methods, employ direct charging systems and thereby introduce a very easily accessible tool for the multimedia industry and all archive users. The EVA partners are: - Telepolis Antwerpen (TA) Belgium - London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) UK - Stadsarchief Antwerpen (SAA) Belgium - Nederlands Instituut voor Wetenschnappelijke Informatiediensten (NIWI) Netherlands - European Commission of Preservation and Access (ECPA) Netherlands - Lernout and Hauspie Speech Products (L+H) Germany The project is worth approximately 1 million Euros of which 50% is contributed by the European Commission. EVA will run in partnership with a number of other information projects including EUAN (the European Union Archive Network) from the INFO2000 programme. Whereas EVA is starting at item-level description of archives, the EUAN project is starting at series-level description of archives. It will be useful to construct an interface between these 2 projects which have similar challenges both technical and legal to meet. EVA will work within international standards already established and looks forward to close co-operation with the ICA and regional and national archives in the European Union. The results of the EVA project will be disseminated as widely as possible.
