The site, in 2005
A free search service for the collections of 49 European national libraries and a growing number of research libraries.
It covered over 200 million records, including 24 million pages of full text, in 35 languages. Its content was frozen on 31 December 2016.
In 2005: The portal opened on 17 March, after the 2001 to 2004 TEL project had set up a shared framework for national collections.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
