The University of Bologna, called Alma Mater Studiorum, presents itself as the oldest university in the Western world. It dates its history to 1088, the year conventionally taken as the founding of the Studium of Bologna, and it calls itself a keystone and point of reference for European culture. Its history runs through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, a stagnation in the modern age and a revival in the contemporary era. The university keeps a Historical Archive holding deeds and documents produced or received by its offices since 1860.
