It develops a digital library of multimedia resources related to European unification efforts since World War II, including the development of related international bodies such as the European Union.[1] The library is available in English and French; some documents are available in other languages. On 1 July 2016, the CVCE was integrated into the University of Luxembourg, and the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) has taken on the task of maintaining and developing the CVCE.eu website.

The digital library was formerly named the European NAvigator (ENA).

The large multimedia knowledge base includes original texts (treaties, etc.), video and audio clips, press articles, photos, interactive maps, cartoons and tables.
