EU - Forging a Union for Peace, 2024

An online exhibition created for the 2024 EU Council Presidency, presenting documents from 34 European archives that honor 35 influential figures who shaped European values and institutions.

EU - Forging a Union for Peace is an online exhibition and database designed to accompany the archival events organized on the occasion of the Hungarian Presidency of the EU Council in 2024. The project was realised through the collaboration of 34 European archives.

Each participating institution selected documents from its own collection to highlight the legacy of 35 distinguished European figures whose work significantly contributed to strengthening shared European values and laying the foundations of today’s European Union.

Visitors navigate the exhibition through a dynamic, stylized spatial map of Europe, exploring visual and textual documents provided by the archives. The platform offers a unified, accessible space where historical materials from across the continent come together to illustrate the evolution of European cooperation.
