#LaptopsforUkraine is a campaign to support #CulturalHeritage institutions to digitally document, scan and photograph heritage at risk.
If you have spare equipment please donate to help preserve Ukraine’s heritage through #digital
Our #LaptopsforUkraine initiative delivered its first batch of over 1000 devices to Ukraine.
People from all across the EU generously helped make this happen, reaffirming once again our strong solidarity with Ukraine.
This will help hard-hit areas in Ukraine stay connected.
