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.
