The University of Barcelona joins this celebration once more, with the activities programmed by the Document Management and Records Office. On Friday, June 8, and Monday, June 11, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Records Office opens its doors and offers a document exhibition where people will see some of the exams and records that are part of the online exhibition “Lʼhora de la veritat. Els exàmens a la Universitat de Barcelona 1840-1940”, which is currently online in the website of the Records Office.

On June 8, the website will publish a disseminating video made by the Document Management and Records Office, which shares -in a short and dynamic way- this service by the University of Barcelona and its fundamental role for the functioning of the institution.
