The principal objective of Europeana Regia is to reconstruct,
in the form of a virtual library, the most important European royal
collections of documents from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
This
project will provide a means for researchers and the general public to
access these rare and precious documents, through platforms such as Gallica, Belgica, Manuscripta Mediaevalia and Europeana, by 2012.
Managed by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), Europeana Regia
unites five European libraries - the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek,
Munich (BSB), the Universitat de València Biblioteca Històrica (BHUV),
the Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenbuttel (HAB) and the Koninklijke
Bibliotheek van België – Bibliothèque royale de Belgique (KBR) - and
concerns almost nine hundred manuscripts that are representative of the
political, cultural and artistic history of Europe.
This project focuses on three sets of manuscripts which are currently
dispersed among different member States: Carolingian manuscripts, the
manuscripts of the library at the Louvre in the time of Charles V and
Charles VI, and the library of the Aragonese Kings of Naples. In
addition, the project covers a number of complementary actions, such as
the definition of procedures to be followed by the partner libraries
(digitisation, organisation of metadata, multilingualism), the
compilation of metadata through cataloguing and indexation, and the
digitisation process itself.
