The European Library

The European Library, is a website where about 50 Europe’s NaTional Libraries offer a common access to their collections. It is a part of the TEL project, sponsored by the European Commission and it has been a fact since January 2004. At source, it is GABRIEL, GAteway and BRIdge to Europe's National Libraries, that joins TEL since summer 2005. Queries can be done in all the participant libraries at the same time, or in a selective way, in specific collections. Theres is an special place inside the site for the most historically interesting digitalized works. It is the first move towards the European Digital Library.
