Memory of the World-Community Building on a Global Scale

Memory of the World
UNESCO’s programme aiming at preservation and dissemination of valuable archive holdings and library collections worldwide.

Documentary heritage reflects the diversity of languages, peoples and cultures. It is the mirror of the world and its memory. But this memory is fragile. Every day, irreplaceable parts of this memory disappear for ever.
UNESCO has launched the Memory of the World Programme to guard against collective amnesia calling upon the preservation of the valuable archive holdings and library collections all over the world ensuring their wide dissemination.
