The link to the media resource must be a valid URL (Complies with either IETF RFC 3986: Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax or IETF RFC 3987 Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs)) and we recommend such URL to use the HTTPS protocol.
The link must resolve to a media resource directly, not to a webpage (i.e. where the mime-type of the resource would be "text/html").
The link must not return more than three redirects before ending up on the media resource.
The media resource must be able to be downloaded within a time span of 20 minutes.
The media resource must have a valid mime-type. We have established a list of valid mime-types that we support from ingestion to display in Europeana Collections based on the mime-types maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.
Large PDF files should be optimised for Fast Web View so they take less time to download. An exception from these requirements are media resources that are embedded in the Europeana Collections portal (see the section below).

A MIME type (also known as a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) is a standard that indicates the format of a file. It is a fundamental characteristic of a digital resource that influences its ability to be accessed and used over time. The purpose of this section is to provide a list of MIME types corresponding to different types of content/media that are supported or not by Europeana. Media formats supported on Europeana Collections
Media formats not supported in Europeana CollectionsNot all the links to media resources that Europeana receives from data providers can be displayed in the Europeana Collections portal, however these are still made available for download to our users for reuse.
