Exhibition

The exhibition “Ink to Cloud: Securing Transmission over Centuries” will take place at the European Parliament from 16 to 20 March 2026.
It aims to highlight notarial acts of major historical significance preserved in national archives. Dating from the 14th to the 20th century, these acts reflect the richness of Europe’s heritage, including the Act of Acclamation of King João I, the will of Queen Isabella the Catholic, and the probate inventory of the estate of Johann Strauss.
With the rise of the digital age, our practices are undergoing profound transformation. Data, contracts and intangible assets now exist in digital form. How can their preservation — and their transmission — be ensured? This exhibition invites visitors on a journey through centuries of legal and social evolution.
