A Memory of the World (UNESCO)

A Memory of the World is an initiative by UNESCO to preserve and promote the world's most valuable and unique documentary heritage—such as ancient manuscripts, historical records, and rare books. Its goal is to protect these cultural materials from destruction, neglect, or loss, ensuring they remain accessible for future generations. By identifying, safeguarding, and sharing these treasures, the program helps maintain global cultural diversity, support research, and foster understanding across different cultures and histories.
