04.21.2011 ZF English

Romanian Interior Minister Traian Igas and Communications Minister Valerian Vreme on Thursday signed a 26 million lei (around EUR6.35 million) contract for a project to digitize the National Archives' public services.

The project "Integrated IT System for the Management of Services provided to the Clients of the National Archives" will receive financing of more than RON26.6 million, including almost RON21.5 million in European Union funds.

Through this system, the National Archives' services will be available electronically to the population, researchers and institutions.

Data will be available more quickly and securely to courts and local administrations, and the public will have easier access to documents of historical-cultural and practical importance.
