CASE
CASE, the Central Archives Search Engine, provides access to descriptions of the archives of the Council of the European Union.
A search in CASE is carried out using the metadata (titles, Council document number, COM/SEC number, search in a sub-collection, year, and description of the content of files).
These descriptions are available only in French. It is therefore necessary to consult the database in French in order to obtain valid results.
The following collections are available online:
ECSC (CM1) from 1952 to 1964
EEC Euratom (CM2) from 1958 to 1974
Negotiation of the Treaties of Rome (CM3 NEGO 1) from 1955 to 1957

To consult collections not yet available online, please contact us by email.
