One of the Europeana Collections 1914-1918 project’s goals is to expand and enlarge its network.

By enlarging the network we hope to obtain a significant augmentation of the number of digitised objects related to WW1 and to contribute in the conservation and preservation of precious and rare documents. Our goal is to enrich our current collection and fill in any possible gaps in our selection. Cooperation with different partners will also enable us to improve our project website as a unique platform for digital heritage related to WW1.
