European Heritage Network (HEREIN)

Presentation


The European Heritage Network (HEREIN) is a permanent information system bringing together government departments responsible for cultural heritage under the umbrella of the Council of Europe. Since it was set up in 1999 the network has become a reference point for government bodies, professionals, research workers and non-governmental organisations active in this field. A new HEREIN database will be available in 2012! (more...)
