About Us
CENDARI is an acronym referring to the Collaborative European Digital Archival Research Infrastructre, a 4-year, European Commission-funded project which integrates digital archives and resources for the pilot areas of medieval culture and the First World War.
The aim of CENDARI is to pilot the implementation of a cirtual research infrastructure which will allow scholars to access historical resources across institutional and national boundaries. At the core of the CENDARI environment are federated archival resources from more than a thousand institutions across Europe and the world.
The project brings information and computer scientists together with leading historians and existing historical research infrastructures (archives, libraries and other digital projects) to improve the conditions for historical scholarship in Europe, through active response to the impact of the digital age on scholarly and archival practice.
CENDARI is formed of 14 partners from 8 European countries:
Freie Universität Berlin • University of Birmingham • Trinity College Dublin • Czech National Library • Università di Cassino • The European Library • Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL) • King’s College, London • Institut national de recherche en informatique et en automatique (INRIA) • University of Stuttgart • Goettingen State and University Library • Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts • Fondazione Ezio Franceschini • Società Internazionale per lo Studio del Medioevo Latino
The CENDARI project has been financed by the European Union’s 7th Framework Programme for Research
