The ‘Digitising Contemporary Art’ (DCA) project aims to digitise contemporary art objects from 12 European countries and make them accessible to the wider public through Europeana – a single access point for European cultural heritage. The project coordinator is PACKED vzw, a Brussels-based centre of expertise for digital cultural heritage. The project partners include 21 art institutions and museums and 4 technical institutions. The project started on January 1 2011 and will last for two and a half years, until July 2013. The project is supported financially by the European Commission.
