As M. Eriksson and P. Snickars write, tools are far from being impartial, including when they help us to study and narrate the past. This issue collects a broad range of publications that demonstrate and critique new ways of exploring the past through computational means.

We find that Delors Committee members extensively tackled « economic union » related topics, even if the final report focused more concretely on how to reach monetary union.

We use in full the historian’s toolbox, from classic close reading and close listening of the primary sources to sophisticated digital techniques in order to unpack what the Delors Committee worked on.

To explore this, we use the word for word transcript of the meetings to identify who spoke about what (through Named Entity Recognition), the words used (through keywords) and uncover latent topics (through Natural Language Processing techniques).

The inventory of the tapes further allows us to identify the speaking time of each member. If the top 3 is predictable (Delors, the German and French central bankers) the 4th longest speaker is more surprising: the Irish governor Maurice Doyle.

Comparing the inventory of the tapes and the records available, we conclude that out of the 47 hours of audio, only 10 hours and a half have been transcribed in full.

First, the black box of the Delors Committee archives. The existence of a word for word transcript is famous. But we show in the article that this transcript is fragmentary and represents what the rapporteurs considered the most important parts of the discussions.

Based on a variety of archival sources, this article aims to unpack the black box of both the archives of the Delors Committee and the discussions that took place within the group of central bankers. And to show that “economic union” was much more discussed than usually acknowledged.

The Delors Report famously outlined how to achieve European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). The authors’ proposals were more detailed on monetary union than economic union; but what did the members actually discuss during their meetings?
