Evolution Projects+ is to develop an integrated repository of digital, cultural content, which will be fully available to the general public, without any restriction as to its availability, display and retrieval on a web portal in line with Europeana standards.
The object of the project is the production, digitization, documentation and deposit of the rich material of the Literary Association “Parnassus”, in accordance with international good practices and specifications, as well as the availability of this material through a web services platform that will be developed entirely by our company’s developers.
In the framework of the project “DIGITAL EXPERIENCE IN THE CULTURAL MATERIAL OF THE PARNASSOS PHILOGRAPHICAL ASSOCIATION” Evolution Projects+ is going to digitize, using the latest technology, the entire valuable and unpublished historical archive of the Parnassos Philological Association, with over 70,000 pages of printed archives of great historical and cultural value, literary books and documents from 1886. In addition, paintings, sculptures, architectural drawings of the main preserved building of the Association, dating back to 1890, as well as resolutions of corresponding historical value, will be digitized.
At the same time, Evolution Projects+ will provide a 3D tour of the main listed building of the Association in Karitsis Square after the project is completed.
The specifications that will be followed for the material to be digitised and documented have been developed by the National Documentation Centre (EKT) and have emerged on the basis of many years of national and international experience in infrastructures for open, documented, digital content, while they are based on international practices, both at the level of European countries and the EU as a whole (e-content, ICT PSP, e-infrastructure etc.a.) in European portals for the collection and distribution of particularly large-scale content (Europeana and DRIVER), as well as good examples of individual international repositories and large-scale digital content systems (Open Library of the Internet Archive, Google Books and Art Project, etc.).
With the completion of the project, the full utilization of new technologies for the promotion and availability of digital cultural content to visitors will be made possible on the one hand, and on the other hand, the promotion of the entire project in modern social media with the creation and design of an information page and profile of the Parnassos Philological Association, inaugurating a new page in the historical journey of the Association.
