60 years of UNESCO documents

UNESCO’s past orientations and actions have contributed to shape its present, and we might therefore all find some inspiration in taking a closer look at the history of our Organization. This is the main reason why 2,000 historical documents, reflecting the activities of the Organization during its early years, had been indexed and scanned in 2006-2007 as part of a long-term UNESCO Archives project. The objective is to make all official documents of a public nature since 1946 available on-line.

As a preview of the Organization’s accumulated assets of knowledge and know-how that will progressively emerge, you can, for example, access a sample of documents on the following topics:

These documents and many more are available on line in UNESDOC, UNESCO's documentary database
