The new EUscreen portal features content from over twenty archives and broadcasters across Europe, bringing together videos, stills, text and audio that provide an insight into the social, cultural, political and economic events that have shaped the 20th and 21st centuries. The content is freely available and offers researchers and academics the chance to study and compare the development of European television history across national borders. Much of the content on the new site is organised by series entry, allowing users to more easily trace not only the progress of historical events but also the changing modes of television production across the decades. A unified metadata schema unites Europe’s heterogenous audiovisual collections and provides a rich and detailed level of description which will enable researchers to contextualise the material and place it in its proper historical, social and technological environment. The new version of the portal supports html5 playout which allows the content to be viewed on mobile devices and tablets.
