"Partage Plus makes Art Nouveau more accessible"
Laura Miles from the Collections Trust (CT, UK) has written a text about the successful conclusion of the Partage Plus project for the Europeana Professional Blog.

"The European Commission funded Partage Plus project ran for 24 months, and has now reached its successful conclusion. The Partage Plus consortium comprised 25 different partner institutions, all of which shared the common aim to digitise Art Nouveau collections and make them accessible through Europeana. Over 78,000 records have been uploaded to Europeana through the project, which includes Art Nouveau architecture, artworks, posters, museum objects as well as 3D scans. Multilingual terminologies have also been used throughout the project. The University of Marburg have ensured that the multilingual vocabularies (which have been translated into the languages of all partners) enable a multilingual search in Europeana. Authority lists have also been created for the project, which has ensured continuity and consistency in the records."
