<p>The exhibition "All our Yesterdays" showcases masterpieces from the first 100 years of photography (1839-1939) from the most famous European collections of in total 19 partner institutions, both photo-archives, photo-agencies and museums. The collections can be viewed online at <a href="http://www.europeana.eu/portal/search.html?query=*:*&qf=PROVIDER:EuropeanaPhotography">Europeana.</a></p>
<p>Themes are based on the concept "the City Lives". The exhibition portrays the life of our ancestors in Europe, from London to Cyprus, from Barcelona to Kiev. </p>
<p>All photos were digitised with state-of-the-art technology, and printed to very high quality standards. In the exhibition realia will be shown as well from the collections of the Fotomuseum Antwerp. </p>
<p>"All our Yesterdays" started as an exhibition in Pisa in Spring 2014, and now travels throughout Europe to bring Europeana closer to the citizens. In Leuven, the exhibition will have a local dimension as it will include collections of the Leuven City Archive. Leuven's history is forever intertwined with the European desitiny since the Great Fire in 1914. </p>
<p>Entrance to the exhibition is free; guided tours are available on request. </p>

http://www.europeana-photography.eu/go/en/91/events-archive/53/the-digitization-age-mass-culture-is-quality-culture-challenges-for-cultural-heritage-and-society
<p>A panel workshop <strong>to disseminate the latest achievements and to foster collaboration in the digital cultural heritage sector</strong> is organized in the framework of the important congress <a href="http://www.culturalheritage2014.eu/" title="link to external website">Euromed 2014</a>. EU projects, organizations and professional operating in this field are invited to participate in the discussion.</p>
<p>The amount of digitized cultural heritage in Europe continues to grow: the digitization activities have a positive impact on the society, by making the cultural heritage more accessible for the citizens, and by generating benefits to the content owners. Several questions arise about digitized cultural heritage: <strong>how can digital cultural data be re-used at best, what is the impact on society, and how to preserve it in the long term?</strong> This panel discussion will try to answer these questions, and<strong> to present the latest EU projects that wish to identify a strategy for the cultural heritage in the new digital age.</strong></p>
