Abstract(s)
Creating a Digital Library for the Convent of Christ and for the Templar
Castle will gather a vast digital resources with information related to these
monuments themselves, and related to themes within them (e.g. Templars,
Discoveries) and to similar ones in Portugal and abroad. These resources displayed
online in the website of the Convent of Christ can be available through the
Europeana. The main objective of the Europeana is to display 2 to 5 million items
from different museums and archives by 2010, and our main goal is to contribute
significantly to that amount of items. Also with items coming from the other world
heritage monasteries classified by Unesco in Portugal. Those contents may be not
only architecture plans, manuscripts or photographs, but also publications of
different origins today unknown or in dispersed owners. This project promotes better
culture understanding, innovation, research and development, tolerance and a new
awareness of the common European heritage by having it new and online.
