Files online
You will find a very limited number of correspondence files available on-line. Our priority is to give on-line access to inventories (finding aids) and to all official UNESCO documents of a public nature, since a large scale scanning project for historical files would be extremely costly. The 24 files, which at present can be consulted on-line, is therefore simply a foretaste of what researchers can expect to find at the UNESCO Archives in Paris.
