About the European Heritage Library

The European Heritage Library was founded as an academic organization with the interest of analyzing and interpreting the heritage and historical memory that the many diverse European cultural identities have experienced throughout their long histories. It is our interest to offer stimulating educational articles, videos, detailed maps, photo galleries, and essays regarding all aspects of European history, politics, historical memory, and cultural experiences from a diverse variety of ethnic and national perspectives. Our content and information places special attention on the social aspirations of European and immigrant minority ethnic identities struggling for political franchise in modern Europe, such as the Gypsy (Roma) communities, the Basques and Galicians of Spain, Muslim immigrant groups, and other regional identities.
