Download our free creative toolkit

Use cultural heritage collections to reclaim an often overlooked narrative: the role of women in science. 

Download the kit and find historical and diverse images of women and scientific objects. Use these materials to make collages and zines, create your own postcards, and even play a memory game that pairs portraits of female scientists with their achievements to help you memorise their legacies.

Join our Women’s History Month transcribathon

Help share the stories of women from history by joining our March transcribathon run! 

Transcribe and enrich letters, diaries and documents written by inspiring women. Prizes will be awarded to participants who transcribe the most!

Europeana Writers’ Room - Women in Mythology

Join our Women’s History Month special edition of the Europeana Writers’ Room on 25 March. 

This session will focus on women from mythology, using inspiring cultural heritage images from Europeana.eu as prompts for guided creative writing. Open to writers of all levels, the workshop offers a supportive space to explore women’s stories across cultures and time.

Discover the heroines of Santa Barbara!

During the French War in Girona at the beginning of the 19th century, the role of women in war took on an unprecedented form through the story of the heroines of the Santa Barbara Company. 

Learn all about how an organised body of women changed the female role in war, and discover how memory is being made visible through digital technology in the EUreka3D-XR project.
