BRICKS Cultural Heritage Network (BCHN)
The BRICKS Project has established a network among cultural institutions for the sharing of digital cultural resources. This network, called the BRICKS Cultural Heritage Network, connects some of the major providers of cultural digital content and prominent players in the field of Digital Libraries, such as: The European Library, the MICHAEL Project, the British Museums, Libraries and Archives Council, and the Russian Culture Heritage Network to name a few. By installing a Bnode and joining this network, even smaller cultural institutions and other digital content providers may contribute to the building of an unprecedented shared digital memory spanning over Europe and beyond.

All revolutions, whether in the sciences or world history, occur merely because spirit has changed its categories in order to understand and examine what belongs to it, in order to possess and grasp itself in a truer, deeper, more intimate and unified manner.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The heritage of the American Revolution is forgotten, and the American government, for better and for worse, has entered into the heritage of Europe as though it were its patrimony—unaware, alas, of the fact that Europe’s declining power was preceded and accompanied by political bankruptcy, the bankruptcy of the nation-state and its concept of sovereignty.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“Of what use, however, is a general certainty that an insect will not walk with his head hindmost, when what you need to know is the play of inward stimulus that sends him hither and thither in a network of possible paths?”
