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.
