We’re marking 20 years of the European Centre for Area Information in ESA ESRIN, Frascati, one of many bodily houses of the ESA Archives, by giving entry to our digital holdings in a brand new internet portal.
For the primary time, the digital content material of the historic collections of the ESA Archives might be made freely obtainable in only one place – historicalarchives.esa.int. This primary launch opens the images collections of the Archives to the general public as we speak.
This web site is results of years of digitisation actions, and brings the present digital holdings of the ESA Archives collectively on one platform. That features materials held at each the European Centre for Area Information (particularly the ESA photos collections documenting the tales from the very first years of the ESA journey) and the archival fonds deposited with our companions on the Historic Archives of the European Union, hosted on the European College Institute in Florence.
In fact, the content material you could find as we speak is just the start and the opening of our archives might be pursued in successive waves. Working throughout the wider context and ambition of the ESA Digital Agenda for Space, our Archives group might be persevering with its ongoing digitisation actions, and we might be including new collections ceaselessly. And we’ll even be growing different sources on Europe’s legacy in house and highlighting every month a few of the hidden treasures in our care.
We hope this may turn into a wealthy useful resource for researching, understanding and selling Europe’s story in house, its affect on our European cultural and scientific id, and the worth of cooperation.
