The Jacques Delors fonds inventory describes close to 2,000 digital files in PDF format. Their digitization was completed thanks to a partnership between the European Union’s Historical Archives (IEU Florence) and the Jacques Delors Institute. This partnership permitted the digital reproduction of the 13,7 linear metres of paper files kept at the Jacques Delors Institute in Paris. They can be consulted on request in all our partner institutions.
