The document summarizes the "Migration in the Arts and Sciences" project which began in September 2017 and runs until February 2019. The project involves several partners who are digitizing materials about cultural migration like books, photos, and films. These materials will be ingested into the Europeana platform and curated with contextual information. An exhibition of over 1,000 digitized objects relating to how migration shaped society and culture was also published on Europeana in October 2018.
