Welcome to the European Heritage Library. We are an academic organization seeking to promote European historic, cultural, and linguistic pride and education as a repository for exclusive maps, videos, photo galleries, essays, and articles of European history, culture, language, heritage, religion, and the political issues facing Europeans today, especially the controversial cultural conflict with Islam in Europe. From the ancient philosophies of the Greeks, to the conquests and inventions of the Romans, to the continental Germanic empires, to the proud resilience and religiosity of the Slavs, and to the rational doctrines of French thinkers, Europeans have maintained a consistently luminous heritage of which they and their descendants should be proud and informed. By gaining an understanding of the historic and modern experience of each European identity, we can appreciate and protect the cultures that shaped and changed world history forever.

European cultural pride   •   historical education   •   political moderation/cooperation   •   cultural representation

We are currently improving the site layout, and rewriting or editing every article.

More sub-national minority flags have been added to our European flags gallery. See our new Official and Minority Languages of Europe to analyze the many groups in Europe seeking autonomy/recognition.
