Digitale Bibliothek soll kulturelles Erbe Europas für alle zugänglich machen[en][fr] 

Funded under the Commission’s Sixth Framework Programme, the TEL-ME-MOR project began on 1 February 2005 with the objectives of:

• Supporting the ten national libraries from the new member states, which are partners in the project, in becoming full members of The European Library, and;
• stimulating and facilitating the participation of organisations from the EU’s new member states in projects funded within the IST area.

With the project due to complete its objectives by the end of January 2007, TEL-ME-MOR is well on the way to achieving its objectives. Content from eight out of the ten newly included national libraries has already been integrated into the European Digital Library. 

Toomas Schvak, spokesperson for the project, explained: “Most of the new collections are already fully searchable; the remaining two libraries are in the process of joining the service, and will become official members by the end of 2006. That means that altogether there will be fifty-two collections in the European Digital Library by January 2007, forty-one of them searchable and thirty-two containing digital content." 

The TEL-ME-MOR project has also been active in promoting exchanges on the future direction of Europe’s online heritage. In October 2006, project researchers organised an international conference in Tallinn, Estonia, to focus on the digital future of cultural and scientific heritage. The event brought together 130 participants from all over the world.
