The European Film Gateway 1914 (EFG1914) plans to digitise films about World War 1 that have never been seen outside a cinema or on television. This is the first time that such films will be made available on the Internet via two web sites: www.europeana.eu and www.europeanfilmgateway.eu. European archives are digitising the footage, which includes newsreels and documentary films as well as fiction films from and about World War I. The two-year project is a collaboration with partners in France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Spain, and the Netherlands. Adapted from the source document.
