Science Run [ 15 June - 30 September 2026 ]
Europeana is celebrating the theme of Science this year through editorials and creative events. Europeana Transcribe offers you a chance to discover a diverse range of scientific manuscripts, letters and images throughout history over the period of 3 months this summer, starting from June 14th.
In this special Run we’ve featured a number of scientific letters, research documents and manuscripts to transcribe, enrich and describe. Our selection includes correspondence and works of the naturalists Alexander von Humboldt and Carl Friedrich Kielmeyer, physicists Heinrich Wilhelm Dove and Marian Smoluchowski, astronomers Heinrich Schwabe and Jan Kanty Steczkowski, and many other notable scientists.
