Since the 1990s:

Across Europe, State and local authority programmes
invested in the digitisation of cultural collections from all
cultural sectors, involving thousands of cultural
institutions and private organisations.

create the conditions to bring together their digitised
resources : NRG and best practice network MINERVA
