Europeana, a multi-lingual online collection of millions of digitized items from European museums, libraries, archives and multi-media collections, has launched its redesigned portal.

‘The portal redesign is part of a long process, in which we have tried to incorporate the most important points, that were consistently made by our users, into our design principles for Europeana’, says Harry Verwayen, Europeana’s Business Development Director.

Some of Europeana’s new features include:

• easier accessibility of virtual exhibitions, content highlights and Europeana initiatives via the image carousel, the “Featured item” section or in the top navigation link “Explore”
• translate function that allows for quick and easy translation of data
• embed function for copying favourite items
• enhanced user interaction through the blog, Facebook page, or Europeana Remix
