Archives
The Archives contain Council documents dating from more than 30 years ago. The originals are sent to the University Institute in Florence and a complete set of copies is kept on microfiche at the Council headquarters.
The Blue guide to the archives of Member States' Foreign Ministries and European Union institutions gives in summary form details of the location and availability of archived files and documents, and the structure of the archives of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Member States and the European Institutions.
