Paulina invites you to learn about the cultural heritage of humanity. It is a multilingual tool, powered by Wikidata, that allows you to search for people and find out if they have freely accessible works in the public domain. It also facilitates the understanding of copyright terms and helps to know when a work enters the public domain in each country.
Paulina is fed by data from Wikidata, the free and collaborative database maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation.
Sometimes, the information consulted may contain errors or be incomplete. Paulina helps to identify gaps and inaccuracies in information about cultural heritage and invites you to improve the data in Wikidata and, through it, on the Internet.
This website is part of a larger project to facilitate the creation of national, regional or thematic versions of the tool, according to the needs of each community.
