The catalogue will act as a joint platform for research, providing support for professionals to identify and access the relevant information, which is currently rather challenging, due to disperse content, copyright and technical constraints (e.g. different types of sources, different types of records). Therefore, the Art Nouveau Digital Catalogue was developed as an inventory of websites (public library/ public archive/ museum library/ museum archive/ institute library/ institute archive/ university library/ university archive/ organisation archive/ public repository) which contain information related to Art Nouveau heritage, being structured on topics and in a unitary format.

 

Its long-term goal is to become an inventory that primarily lists online platforms to researchers, developed by archival, museum, higher education and research institutions from all over Europe, which are continuously enriched. Secondly, each record card of an online platform is linked to search engines or source lists.

 

Institutions from the project partner countries interconnect with stakeholders at national and European level, in order to centralize their own online (re)sources and to generate a research platform. This Art Nouveau 2 activity in particular fosters a wide partnership with relevant stakeholders from outside the project and it will result in an instrument which will substantially contribute to the work of the professionals from the Danube region and beyond.
