ECHOES EU

Through #ECHOES, archaeologists can access advanced tools, collaborate across borders, and ensure that discoveries are preserved and shared through the Cultural Heritage Cloud. 📖 Read more about how ECHOES is shaping the future of archaeology! 🔗 https://buff.ly/4hp0LOE

Four projects, four different reasons to use XR, one session. MusicSphere, EXCALIBUR, UNICHE and MNEME take the XR for Cultural Heritage session at EuroXR 2026, Valencia, 3 to 6 November. Going together, not separately. That is the point. #EchoesEccch #CulturalHeritageCloud

Infrastructure is an argument about values, whether or not anyone writes them down. ECHOES wrote them down. Six founding principles for the #CulturalHeritageCloud, from open science to a clear legal framework for tools and data. Each one constrains the others. #EchoesEccch

Eight more Sister Projects join the #CulturalHeritageCloud. The first thirteen build components. These eight put the ECCCH into real institutions with real collections, from the British Library to nine WWII memory sites across eight countries. #EchoesEccch

Two new members of the ECHOES consortium. E-RIHS, the European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science, joins as a beneficiary and takes on long-term sustainability. Università Telematica Pegaso joins as an affiliated entity of ENCATC. #EchoesEccch #CulturalHeritageCloud

Friday 23 October, 16:00 to 19:00 CEST: ECHOES webinar for the Italian cultural heritage community, with ICOM Italia, Scuola nazionale del patrimonio and AVICOM. In Italian, full English interpretation. Open to everyone. #EchoesEccch #CulturalHeritageCloud

The most common question we get: how do I actually take part in this? ECHOES has published a booklet that answers it. How to be part of the #CulturalHeritageCloud sets out the architecture, the data model and how to integrate your resources. Free on Zenodo. #EchoesEccch

Joining a European infrastructure shouldn't mean ditching your current system. INFINITY offers plug-and-play connectors for platforms like dLibra and Omeka S, bridging the Provenance Gap by creating Multidimensional Knowledge Graphs. youtube.com/shorts/RruDa...

A manuscript never transcribed is, for most purposes, one nobody can read. VTL, an ECHOES application, pairs automated text recognition with expert curation. Newspapers, manuscripts, cuneiform, oral history. Output: searchable, reusable data. #EchoesEccch #CulturalHeritageCloud

Two conservators can look at the same surface and see different things. Both may be right. OCRA, an ECHOES application, lets one area carry several conflicting interpretations without overwriting anything. Annotation in 3D and relightable 2D. #EchoesEccch #CulturalHeritageCloud

The first ECHOES training course is live. Introduction to the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage, five units, now on DARIAH-Campus. Plus the OntoMatchGame, a card game for learning ontologies. Free and open to anyone. #EchoesEccch #CulturalHeritageCloud

An infrastructure does not succeed because it is well built. It succeeds because people use it. Today at the ENCATC Congress in Nice we presented A Community-Centred Path to a Sustainable #CulturalHeritageCloud, with ARIADNE and the University of Antwerp. #EchoesEccch

Nineteen of twenty. Seven more Engagement and Collaboration projects have started, joining the twelve from July. Audiovisual collections, textile heritage, landscape archives, Norway, Iceland. Built for small and medium-sized institutions. #EchoesEccch #CulturalHeritageCloud

Cataloguing to European standards has meant choosing between doing it properly and doing it at all. CIT, an ECHOES application, is built for smaller institutions: domain standards, AI-assisted metadata, collections searchable across Europe. #EchoesEccch #CulturalHeritageCloud
