Barcelona will host International Archives Week from 8 to 14 June 2026, the City Council has announced. The city-wide event will focus on the value of archives and their role in preserving history and culture.
The programme is expected to include activities for both the public and professionals, such as exhibitions, workshops and open days at local archival institutions. The City Council has not yet released the full schedule or the list of participating venues.
International Archives Week is a global initiative that promotes the work of archivists and the importance of archival collections. It gives institutions a chance to show how archives support transparency, memory and research.
More details about the Barcelona programme are expected closer to the 2026 dates. Readers can follow local coverage on news from Catalonia and check the Barcelona City Council website for official updates.
