The presentation will offer a broad overview of the Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) founded in 1983 and will explore its wide range of multilingual, multimedia sources and archives for both researchers and the general public, while also analysing the current interdisciplinary challenges, historiographical issues and innovative practices which it is facing in the digital age. ‘The common European memory is best captured and preserved in the Historical Archives of the European Union, where the archives of the EU institutions are preserved along with the documents of pioneers and visionaries, political leaders and the many European witnesses from movements, associations and political groups’. (Dieter Schlenker, 2024). The presentation will also highlight the research interests and objectives of the the Alcide De Gasperi Research Centre – that emerged as a joint initiative of the HAEU and the EUI’s Department of History and Civilisation – and which is a unique research hub on European cooperation and integration from the twentieth century to the present.
