In the United Kingdom the amount of investments into the creation of cultural contents is permanently increasing. A large-scale programme was started in 2001 with the financing of Resource and the DCMS for the development of information technology in museums. Another significant support comes from the New Opportunities Found, NOF: so far they supported 152 projects of more than 500 different institutions. In the framework of this programme more than 1 million digital objects and 400 educational packages will be prepared. It is also planned that all the government services will be made available online. The People’s Network program (Resource) plays and important role in ensuring public Internet access, there are huge investments in the development of information and communication technology in public libraries, in the formation of education centres, and the Internet training of librarians and the elaboration of training material are also included in the program. The article deals with the European digitisation efforts (eEuropa 2002), and with the problems of international cooperation as well.
