Abstract

UNESCO's institutional archives and historical audiovisual collections contain evidence of over 70 years of ideas and actions for peace and international understanding that span the Organization's wide-ranging fields of competence. UNESCO Archives invites you to help it to enrich its exceptional photo collection! Unesco is transcribing information from select photos of its historic collection, image by image, so that all the details it has about each photo are searchable. For this UNESCO needs help from the people. The present write up an extract of UNESCO notifications provides details of the archive and the aspects in which people volunteer to support it for conservation of the invaluable documents for posterity.
