Memory of the World Programme

The Memory of the World Programme is an initiative by UNESCO aimed at preserving and promoting documentary heritage of global significance. It seeks to protect important historical documents, manuscripts, and audiovisual materials from being lost or damaged, recognizing their value in telling the stories of our past. The program highlights items that contribute to the understanding of culture, history, and society, ensuring access for future generations. By identifying and documenting these treasures, the Memory of the World Programme fosters appreciation for the world's diverse histories and encourages their safeguarding.
