The Recommendation is intended to optimize the benefits of information technologies for economic growth, job creation, and quality of life as part of the Europe 2020 strategy. It emphasizes the need for coordinated efforts in digitizing and preserving Europe’s cultural heritage, including books, photographs, museum objects, and audiovisual material, to ensure broad access and long-term preservation.
The recommendation assesses the current status of digitization and digital preservation initiatives across EU member states, examining their effectiveness, scope, and impact. It seeks to offer insights into how these initiatives can improve access to cultural heritage and bolster the digital economy. Additionally, it showcases successful practices and strategies in digitization and preservation, providing guidance for enhancing and broadening these efforts.
