The eCultureMap is the effort of the Europeana partners to put their cultural content on the one single geographical knowledge map when ingesting their metadata to Europeana. The eCultureMap currently displays more than 2 millions objects from several Europeana projects as are Athena, Carare, LinkedHeritage, AthenaPlus, PartagePlus and others.

The tool supports navigation and search of the content: - to move the map press either left or middle mouse button while over the map and drag; - to change the magnification use the mouse scroll wheel or the magnification tool on the right sidebar; you can also hold a shift key while drawing a rectangle with the left mouse button to zoom-in; - to identify features use the left mouse button and click on them, then select the thumbnail to connect to Europeana meta data.
