Cultural institutions increasingly use digital media to disseminate their heritage material. To obtain a useful overview of the current state, a precursor NUMERIC project to gather statistics was carried out between 2007 and 2009.^[2]

Three reports have been published under the auspices of ENUMERATE. The first ENUMERATE Core survey report was published in May 2012.^[3] In 2013 a report on the ENUMERATE Thematic Surveys on Digital Collections in European Cultural Heritage Institutions was published.^[4] The second ENUMERATE Core survey report was published in January 2014.^[5]
